Main Ingredients- 600g Pork bulgogi cuts
- 400g Mini king oyster mushrooms
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Generously oil a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped green onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. The ginger is crucial for eliminating any porky odor and enhancing the overall flavor profile.
Step 2
Add the pork bulgogi cuts to the pan. Stir-fry the pork until it starts to change color. Pour in the soju and continue to cook. The soju not only helps to tenderize the pork and remove any unwanted odor but also adds a subtle depth of flavor.
Step 3
Once the pork turns grayish-brown and is mostly cooked, add the prepared mini king oyster mushrooms and black pepper. Stir-fry until the mushrooms are tender and slightly browned, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
Increase the heat to high and, if you have a kitchen torch, carefully flambé the ingredients to impart a smoky ‘wok hei’ flavor. (If you don’t have a torch, simply stir-fry over high heat for a minute). Once the smoky aroma is infused, add the oyster sauce and store-bought pork rib marinade. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 5
Continue to stir-fry until the sauce thickens slightly. Gradually add the cornstarch slurry while stirring continuously. This will create a glossy sauce that clings beautifully to the pork and mushrooms, preventing the dish from becoming watery later on.
Step 6
Your delicious Pork and King Oyster Mushroom Stir-Fry is ready! Transfer the stir-fry to a serving plate. Garnish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and some chopped scallions, if desired, for an extra touch of freshness and visual appeal. Enjoy this hearty dish with a bowl of steamed rice or as a delightful accompaniment to your favorite drinks.
