Main Ingredients- 2 King Oyster Mushrooms
- 2 Tbsp Perilla Oil (Deulgireum)
- Pinenut powder, for garnish
- A pinch of red chili threads (Silgochu), for garnish
Yuzu Miso Sauce- 2 Tbsp Miso Paste
- 1 Tbsp Yuzu Marmalade (Yuja Cheong)
- 0.5 Tbsp Minced Garlic (1/2 Tbsp)
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Miso Paste
- 1 Tbsp Yuzu Marmalade (Yuja Cheong)
- 0.5 Tbsp Minced Garlic (1/2 Tbsp)
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, trim off the hard ends of the king oyster mushrooms. Then, slice the mushrooms crosswise into approximately 0.5 cm thick rounds, maintaining their shape.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the star of our dish: the Yuzu Miso Sauce! In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of miso paste, 1 tablespoon of yuzu marmalade, 0.5 tablespoon of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Whisk everything together thoroughly until well combined. The sweet and tangy aroma of the yuzu marmalade will already be making your mouth water.
Step 3
Heat a grill pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of perilla oil. Once the oil is warm, place the sliced king oyster mushrooms onto the pan in a single layer.
Step 4
Grill the mushrooms, flipping them occasionally, until they are lightly browned on both sides. This initial grilling helps to release some moisture, resulting in a chewier texture and allowing the sauce to adhere better.
Step 5
Once lightly grilled, generously brush the prepared Yuzu Miso Sauce onto both sides of the king oyster mushrooms. Ensure each slice is evenly coated with the delicious sauce.
Step 6
Return the sauced mushrooms to the grill pan. Continue to grill, flipping and basting with more sauce multiple times, until the mushrooms are tender and beautifully caramelized. The goal is to allow the sauce to fully penetrate the mushrooms and achieve a rich, golden-brown color.
Step 7
Arrange the perfectly grilled Yuzu-Scented King Oyster Mushrooms artfully on a serving plate. For a beautiful finish and added texture, sprinkle some pinenut powder and a pinch of red chili threads over the top. Your visually appealing and incredibly delicious dish is now ready to be enjoyed!
