Main Ingredients
- 3 King Oyster Mushrooms (large)
- 0.5 Tbsp Soy Sauce for Soup (Guk-ganjang)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- Pinch of Toasted Sesame Seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 3 large King Oyster Mushrooms. Trim off the woody ends with a knife, wash them thoroughly under running water, and roughly pat them dry. Place the cleaned mushrooms in your air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 180°C (356°F) for 25 minutes. This cooking method helps to remove excess moisture, resulting in a chewy texture.
Step 2
The grilled King Oyster Mushrooms will be very hot after cooking. Carefully remove them from the air fryer and let them cool down for a bit. Be cautious to avoid burns.
Step 3
Once slightly cooled, use your hands to tear the mushrooms lengthwise into strips. Tearing them by hand, rather than slicing with a knife, helps to preserve the natural texture of the mushrooms, making them chewier.
Step 4
Take the torn mushroom strips and firmly squeeze out any excess moisture with both hands. This step is crucial for achieving a firm, chewy texture. After squeezing, gently fluff the mushrooms to separate them, then place them in a mixing bowl.
Step 5
Add 0.5 tablespoon of Soy Sauce for Soup (Guk-ganjang) to the bowl with the mushrooms. This soy sauce will add a savory depth of flavor.
Step 6
Next, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. The fragrant aroma of sesame oil will enhance the mushrooms’ natural flavors.
Step 7
Finally, crush the toasted sesame seeds between your palms before adding them to the bowl. Crushing the sesame seeds releases more of their nutty aroma and flavor.
Step 8
Now, gently toss and mix everything together with your hands until well combined. Your delicious Grilled King Oyster Mushroom Salad is ready! It’s truly that simple.
Step 9
This finished Grilled King Oyster Mushroom Salad boasts a mild yet satisfyingly chewy texture, complemented by the rich nuttiness of sesame oil and seeds. It’s an excellent side dish that even picky eaters will love!
