Ingredients
- 1 pack King Oyster mushrooms (approx. 200g)
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil (for stir-frying)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil
- 0.3 Tbsp oyster sauce (approx. 1/2 tsp)
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s important to prepare the King Oyster mushrooms properly. Use a knife to cleanly trim off the tough base of the mushrooms. Instead of washing them with water, which can make them soggy, gently wipe away any dirt or debris with a slightly damp kitchen towel or a clean cloth. This method helps preserve the mushrooms’ wonderful texture and flavor, preventing them from becoming mushy.
Step 2
Now, let’s get ready for the stir-frying. Heat a pan over medium-low heat, then add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of perilla oil. These oils will add a wonderful aroma. Using both oils together creates a rich, nutty flavor. If you don’t have perilla oil, using only sesame oil is also fine.
Step 3
Add the prepared King Oyster mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry them evenly. Continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the mushrooms release some moisture and become tender. They should start to look slightly translucent.
Step 4
Once the mushrooms are partially cooked, pour 0.3 tablespoons (about half a teaspoon) of oyster sauce around the edges of the pan. Quickly toss the mushrooms to coat them evenly with the sauce. Stir-frying quickly after adding the sauce prevents it from becoming too salty or burning. Continue to cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of toasted sesame seeds over the mushrooms. This adds a lovely nutty flavor and a beautiful finishing touch. For an extra kick, you can optionally add a little minced garlic or some chopped chili peppers.
Step 6
Transfer the perfectly stir-fried King Oyster mushrooms to a nice serving dish. This dish is delicious served over hot rice as a simple rice bowl or enjoyed as a flavorful side dish. Enjoy your meal!
