Healthy & Chewy King Oyster Mushroom Rosé Tteokbokki
A Special Rosé Tteokbokki Recipe Using King Oyster Mushrooms
I love rosé tteokbokki so much, but I often found it hard to digest due to the flour content. So, I decided to create a version using king oyster mushrooms instead of traditional rice cakes! King oyster mushrooms are larger and chewier than regular oyster mushrooms, making them twice as fun to eat. If you’re a fan of rosé tteokbokki but looking for a healthier option, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try!

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the star of our dish: 300g of king oyster mushrooms (also known as ‘Suntari’).
Step 2
Instead of traditional tteokbokki rice cakes, these chewy king oyster mushrooms will take their place. You’ll experience a different charm compared to regular rice cakes.
Step 3
Separate the mushroom caps individually. Rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
Step 4
Next, get 100g of store-bought Vienna sausages ready. These are a crowd-pleaser, especially for kids!
Step 5
To help the sauce penetrate better, make a few cross-shaped cuts on the sausages. This also makes them look nice when cooked and absorb more flavor.
Step 6
Blanch the sausages in boiling water for about 1 minute. This step helps remove impurities from the surface, making them cleaner and more pleasant to eat.
Step 7
Cut 50g of cabbage into bite-sized square pieces.
Step 8
Now, let’s make the delicious rosé sauce! Start by adding 4 Tbsp of fine gochugaru (Korean chili powder) to a mixing bowl.
Step 9
Add 2 Tbsp of granulated sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Step 10
Don’t forget 1 Tbsp of soy sauce for that savory umami flavor.
Step 11
Add 0.5 Tbsp of oyster sauce for a deeper flavor profile.
Step 12
For a unique aroma and taste, add 1 Tbsp of curry powder. This will elevate the charm of your rosé sauce!
Step 13
Add 0.5 tsp of ground black pepper for a hint of warmth.
Step 14
Include 0.5 tsp of Dasida (or chicken stock) to enhance the rich flavor.
Step 15
For the spicy kick, add a generous 1.5 Tbsp of gochujang (Korean chili paste) – that’s one tablespoon plus a half!
Step 16
Finally, stir in 1 Tbsp of minced garlic for a fragrant aroma.
Step 17
Now, mix all the sauce ingredients thoroughly with a spoon. Letting the sauce rest for a bit will deepen its flavor.
Step 18
Place the cleaned king oyster mushrooms in a preheated dry pan over medium-low heat, without any oil. Stir-fry until most of their moisture has evaporated. This process helps to firm up the mushrooms and enhance their chewy texture.
Step 19
Once the mushrooms have released most of their water, add the blanched Vienna sausages. Sauté them together. The sausages will absorb the mushroom’s flavor, making them even tastier.
Step 20
Now, pour 1 cup (about 200ml) of water into the pan with the sautéed mushrooms and sausages.
Step 21
Add 1 cup (about 200ml) of whole milk for a creamier rosé sauce. Be careful, as milk can boil over quickly.
Step 22
Once the sauce starts to simmer, let it cook for about 2 more minutes. Then, add 2 Tbsp of the prepared rosé sauce mixture. (Adjust the amount to your preference).
Step 23
Continue to simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld. During this time, add the chopped cabbage. The cabbage will soften and add a subtle sweetness.
Step 24
Finally, for an extra layer of savory richness, grate a little Parmesan cheese over the dish. This will double the deliciousness!
Step 25
Garnish with freshly chopped green onions. Your healthy and delicious King Oyster Mushroom Rosé Tteokbokki is ready to be enjoyed! Bon appétit!
