Chewy King Oyster Mushroom Pizza with Shrimp and Bacon
[SANTARI] Shrimp and Bacon Pizza Made with King Oyster Mushrooms
I made this pizza using shredded king oyster mushrooms instead of a traditional dough! The satisfyingly chewy texture of the mushrooms is absolutely delicious!
Main Ingredients- King Oyster Mushrooms 200g
- Cornstarch 2 Tbsp
- Salt 1/2 tsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the fresh king oyster mushrooms by cleaning them thoroughly. Then, tear them into small, bite-sized pieces along the natural grain. Preserving the chewy texture of the mushrooms is key!
Step 2
To the torn mushrooms, add 2 Tbsp of cornstarch and 1/2 tsp of salt. Gently mix with your hands, ensuring the mushrooms are evenly coated. This step helps them become chewier when pan-fried.
Step 3
Heat about 1-2 Tbsp of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Spread the seasoned mushroom mixture thinly and evenly across the pan, forming a pizza-like base.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low. While pressing down gently with your hands, pan-fry the mushroom base until it’s lightly golden brown on both sides. The moisture from the mushrooms will evaporate, creating a thin and crispy texture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Once the mushroom base is nicely browned, spread 2 Tbsp of pizza sauce thinly over one side. Be careful not to use too much, as it could make the pizza too salty.
Step 6
Generously sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce to create a cheesy foundation.
Step 7
Arrange your prepared toppings evenly over the cheese: the chopped onion, drained canned corn, bite-sized bacon pieces, and shrimp.
Step 8
Cover the pan tightly with a lid and cook on low heat until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 5-10 minutes. Keep the heat low to prevent the bottom from burning.
Step 9
Once the cheese is perfectly melted and gooey, turn off the heat. Cut the pizza into your desired serving sizes (e.g., 4 or 6 slices) and enjoy immediately while it’s warm. You’ve just made a wonderfully chewy and flavorful mushroom pizza!
