Ingredients- 3 King Oyster Mushrooms

- 0.5 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1-1.5 Tbsp Korean Soup Soy Sauce (Guk-ganjang)
- A pinch of Black Pepper
- 1 pinch of Salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s gather the ingredients for this delicious King Oyster Mushroom Stir-Fry. You’ll need 3 King Oyster Mushrooms, 1/4 carrot, and 1/2 onion. For added aroma, prepare 0.5 Tbsp of minced garlic. To bring out a deep umami flavor, have 1-1.5 Tbsp of Korean soup soy sauce ready. A pinch of black pepper will enhance the overall taste, and a tiny pinch of salt will be used for final seasoning.
Step 2
Wash the King Oyster Mushrooms thoroughly under running water. Trim off the very ends if they look dry. Slice the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces, about 1/2 inch thick, and then cut them in half lengthwise, similar to slicing sausages. This creates a pleasing texture. (Tip: The stems offer a nice chewiness, while the caps are softer. Feel free to adjust slicing thickness based on your preference.)
Step 3
Peel the carrot and onion, then thinly slice them into matchsticks. Aim for uniform thickness so they cook evenly, which results in a better flavor and texture.
Step 4
Heat 1-2 Tbsp of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the julienned carrots first and stir-fry them until they begin to soften slightly. This process brings out their natural sweetness and vibrant color.
Step 5
Once the carrots are slightly tender, add the sliced onion and all the King Oyster Mushrooms to the pan. It looks wonderfully generous when everything is added!
Step 6
Now, add the aromatic minced garlic and 1-1.5 Tbsp of Korean soup soy sauce for that rich umami depth. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry quickly. Cooking on high heat helps to retain the mushrooms’ moisture, keeping them plump and firm. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
As the ingredients turn golden brown and a savory aroma fills the air, taste the stir-fry. Adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed. Sprinkle in the black pepper for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 8
Finish by sprinkling toasted sesame seeds generously over the top. This adds a wonderful nutty aroma and a delightful textural contrast, completing your delicious King Oyster Mushroom Stir-Fry.
Step 9
And there you have it! Your 5-minute King Oyster Mushroom Stir-Fry is ready. Using Korean soup soy sauce in this recipe provides a depth of flavor that’s richer than usual. This dish is perfect as a staple side for any meal or as a convenient addition to your bento box!
