Main Ingredients- 2 King Oyster Mushrooms
- 2 Cheongyang Peppers (or other small, hot peppers)
- 1/2 Onion
- Shredded carrots, as needed
Seasoning- 1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- A little Cooking Oil (like Canola or Olive Oil)
- A sprinkle of Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- A little Cooking Oil (like Canola or Olive Oil)
- A sprinkle of Sesame Seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the king oyster mushrooms and trim off the stem ends. Slice them into bite-sized pieces, such as half-moons about 0.5cm thick, or julienne them. Finely chop the Cheongyang peppers (you can remove the seeds if you prefer less heat). Peel and thinly julienne the onion and carrots. Having all your ingredients prepped makes the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Heat a little cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the prepared king oyster mushrooms and stir-fry until they release their moisture and become slightly softened. Stir-frying them until they release their natural juices will give them a chewier texture and enhance their flavor.
Step 3
Once the mushrooms start to look translucent, add the julienned onion, carrots, and chopped Cheongyang peppers to the pan. Stir everything together. Now, add the seasoning ingredients: 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well to ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly.
Step 4
Stir-fry everything quickly for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the sauce has slightly thickened. This will complete your delicious spicy stir-fried king oyster mushrooms. Finally, turn off the heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a nutty aroma and extra flavor. Enjoy this delightful side dish with a bowl of warm rice!
