Main Ingredients- 2 leaves cabbage
- 1 handful King Oyster Mushroom Gwanji No. 7 (approx. 50g)
- 1 bowl warm cooked rice
- 1/2 Korean chili pepper (Cheongyang pepper)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the main ingredients for the fried rice. Remove the core from the cabbage and slice it into 0.5cm thick strips. Trim the tough ends of the King Oyster Mushroom Gwanji No. 7 and tear them into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3cm). Finely mince the Korean chili pepper. (If you prefer it spicier, you can leave the seeds in.)
Step 2
Let’s make the key to delicious fried rice: the seasoning sauce! In a small bowl, combine 1.5 Tbsp soy sauce, 3 Tbsp oyster sauce, 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp corn syrup, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well. Preparing the sauce beforehand makes it easy to add when you’re stir-frying.
Step 3
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add about 1-2 Tbsp of cooking oil. Add all the prepared cabbage and stir-fry until it becomes translucent and tender. This process brings out the natural sweetness of the cabbage and improves the texture of the fried rice.
Step 4
Once the cabbage is sufficiently softened, add the King Oyster Mushroom Gwanji No. 7 to the skillet. Stir-fry until the mushrooms release their moisture, then increase the heat to high and continue cooking until all the liquid has evaporated. This step is crucial for achieving a pleasant chewy texture from the mushrooms.
Step 5
When the mushrooms are no longer watery, add the cooked rice, the prepared seasoning sauce, minced Korean chili pepper, and 0.5 Tbsp red chili powder to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together over high heat until the rice grains are separated and well combined with the ingredients and sauce. Stir-frying quickly over high heat is the secret to developing a rich flavor in your fried rice.
Step 6
Finally, transfer the fried rice to a serving bowl. Sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds on top for an extra nutty aroma. Your spicy and savory Cabbage and Mushroom Fried Rice is now ready to be enjoyed hot!
