Main Ingredients- 3 King Oyster Mushrooms
- 1 Cheongyang chili pepper (optional, for spice)
- 1/2 Green onion
- 1 Tbsp Butter
Sauce Ingredients- 5 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp Oligodang (corn syrup or honey)
- 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp Water
- 5 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp Oligodang (corn syrup or honey)
- 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp Water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the 3 fresh king oyster mushrooms. Trim off the tough bottom ends of the mushrooms and then slice them into uniform pieces, about 1cm thick. This ensures an even texture and allows the sauce to penetrate well. Finely chop the green onion and the Cheongyang chili pepper. The chili pepper adds a pleasant spicy kick that balances the richness, so adjust the amount according to your preference.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious sauce! In a small bowl, combine 5 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp oligodang (or corn syrup/honey), 2 Tbsp water, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1 Tbsp sesame oil. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Then, add the chopped green onion and Cheongyang chili pepper to the sauce and mix again. Preparing the sauce in advance makes the cooking process much smoother.
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium heat and melt 1 Tbsp of butter. Once the butter is sizzling, add the sliced king oyster mushrooms. Stir-fry them for about 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown on both sides. The butter will infuse the mushrooms with a rich, nutty flavor, making them even more delicious. Ensure the mushrooms are nicely seared.
Step 4
Once the mushrooms are tender and slightly chewy, pour the prepared sauce over them, ensuring it coats the mushrooms well. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer and thicken, allowing it to coat the mushrooms beautifully. Stir or gently toss the mushrooms occasionally to prevent the sauce from burning and to ensure even coating. Simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce has reduced to a nice glaze.
Step 5
And there you have it! Your wonderfully chewy King Oyster Mushroom Stir-fry with Soy Sauce and Butter is ready. Look at that glossy sheen – it’s incredibly appetizing!
Step 6
Served over warm rice, the combination of the rich, buttery aroma and the savory-sweet soy sauce glaze is absolutely delightful. The signature chewy texture of the king oyster mushrooms makes this dish irresistible! It’s truly a magical side dish that makes a bowl of rice disappear in no time. Make this special side dish for your family to enjoy!
