Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Slice the onion thinly into strips and cut the green onion into 4-5cm segments. This preparation makes the stir-frying process much smoother. (Tip: Having all ingredients prepped beforehand significantly speeds up cooking and leads to a more organized experience.)
Step 2
For this recipe, we’re using the ‘Soonjung’ variety of king oyster mushrooms, developed by the Gyeonggi Agricultural Research and Extension Services. These mushrooms offer a mild yet rich flavor that will deepen the complexity of your dish.
Step 3
Soak the wide glass noodles in warm water for 30-40 minutes until they are pliable and soft. Properly rehydrated noodles will be wonderfully chewy and less likely to break during cooking. (Tip: If you’re short on time, you can also boil the noodles in water for about 10 minutes. Drain the soaked noodles well before use.)
Step 4
Score the body of the squid in a crosshatch pattern. This technique helps the sauce penetrate better and improves texture. Cut the squid into bite-sized pieces. Clean the abalone and remove it from the shell, then slice it. Prepare the ‘Soonjung’ king oyster mushrooms and bok choy by washing them.
Step 5
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a wok or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they become translucent, releasing their natural sweetness.
Step 6
Once the onions have softened, add the prepared shrimp to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn a vibrant pink color.
Step 7
Now, add the abalone, squid, ‘Soonjung’ king oyster mushrooms, and green onions to the skillet. Pour in the pre-mixed soy sauce marinade. Stir-fry everything together over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and coated in the sauce. (Tip: For a milder version suitable for children, omit the dried chili peppers from the marinade or use just a tiny amount to control the heat level.)
Step 8
Add the rehydrated wide glass noodles to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry over medium heat for about 1 minute, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors of the sauce and other ingredients.
Step 9
Finally, add the bok choy. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry for just 1 minute. This quick cooking method will keep the bok choy crisp and vibrant. (Tip: If you have bean sprouts, feel free to add them along with the bok choy for an extra layer of texture.)
Step 10
Once everything is stir-fried to perfection, turn off the heat. Drizzle generously with sesame oil and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Gently toss everything together to distribute the aromas and flavors.
Step 11
Transfer the finished Mushroom and Seafood Glass Noodle Stir-Fry to a serving dish. Sprinkle a little more toasted sesame seeds on top for an appealing garnish.
Step 12
Your delicious Mushroom and Seafood Glass Noodle Stir-Fry is ready to be enjoyed! The chewy noodles, fresh seafood, and fragrant mushrooms create a truly satisfying meal.
