Mushrooms & Vegetables- Shiitake mushrooms (adjust quantity to your preference)
- 1/2 Onion
- 1/2 Green onion
Seasoning- 2 Tbsp Cooking oil
- 1 tsp Seasoned salt (adjust to taste!)
- 1 Tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp Perilla oil (or sesame oil)
- 1 Tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp Cooking oil
- 1 tsp Seasoned salt (adjust to taste!)
- 1 Tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp Perilla oil (or sesame oil)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently press the bottom stems of the fresh shiitake mushrooms with your fingers to detach them. Be careful not to press too hard, as this can break the mushrooms.
Step 2
Lightly rinse the shiitake mushrooms under running water to remove any dirt or debris from the surface. It’s important to dry them thoroughly afterward.
Step 3
Slice the prepared shiitake mushrooms to your desired thickness. Thinly slice half an onion and half a green onion. Ensure all ingredients are cut into bite-sized pieces. (Tip: If you love mushrooms, try slicing them a bit thicker for a chewier texture!)
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Starting with medium heat helps to bring out the best flavors of the ingredients, rather than using high heat.
Step 5
Add the sliced onions to the pan and stir-fry them until they become translucent. This process caramelizes the onions, enhancing their natural sweetness and deepening the dish’s flavor.
Step 6
Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic (added based on typical recipe recommendations, as it was not in the original input) and sauté until fragrant. The aroma of garlic will elevate the dish.
Step 7
Now, add the sliced green onions and continue to stir-fry over medium heat until the vegetables release their aromatic fragrance. Avoid overcooking them to maintain a pleasant texture.
Step 8
Add the shiitake mushrooms to the pan and stir everything together to combine.
Step 9
Season with 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt. (Tip: It’s best to add salt gradually, tasting as you go, rather than adding it all at once. Remember that oyster sauce also contains salt, so adjust accordingly.)
Step 10
Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce for a savory umami boost. Stir-fry to ensure the sauce evenly coats all the ingredients.
Step 11
Finally, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of perilla oil (or sesame oil) and give it a quick toss to enhance the nutty aroma.
Step 12
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds for added nutty flavor and texture. Give it a final stir, and your delicious shiitake mushroom stir-fry is ready!
Step 13
Your aromatic and delightfully chewy shiitake mushroom stir-fry is complete! Serve it over warm rice for a satisfying meal, or enjoy it as a side dish alongside other Korean classics.
