King Oyster Mushroom Salad with Perilla Powder
Delicious and Nutty King Oyster Mushroom Salad
My family absolutely loves mushrooms, so I decided to make a healthy, nutty, and flavorful mushroom dish today! Let’s get started on this delightful recipe.
Main Ingredients
- 1 pack King Oyster Mushrooms
- 2 Tbsp Perilla Powder (Deulkkae Garu)
- A little Green Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp Water
Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp Anchovy Sauce (or Soy Sauce for soup)
- 1/3 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp Anchovy Sauce (or Soy Sauce for soup)
- 1/3 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently wash the king oyster mushrooms under running water. Slice them into bite-sized pieces, about 1-1.5 cm thick, for a pleasant texture. If the stems are very thick, you can halve them lengthwise.
Step 2
Place the prepared mushrooms and 2 tablespoons of water into a microwave-safe container or bag. Loosely cover it, or prick a few holes in the plastic wrap if using. Microwave on high for 3 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and moist.
Step 3
Carefully drain any excess liquid from the cooked mushrooms. Be cautious as they will be hot; using a sieve or a piece of cheesecloth is recommended. Let the mushrooms cool slightly while you prepare the seasonings.
Step 4
Add 1 tablespoon of anchovy sauce (or Korean soup soy sauce) to the slightly cooled mushrooms to enhance their flavor.
Step 5
Season with 1/3 teaspoon of salt, adjusting to your preference. The amount of salt may vary depending on the saltiness of your anchovy sauce.
Step 6
Generously add 2 tablespoons of perilla powder for that signature nutty and rich flavor that elevates the mushrooms.
Step 7
Finally, add a small amount of finely chopped green onion for a fresh aroma. Scallions can also be used.
Step 8
Gently mix all the ingredients together with your hands, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix or mash the mushrooms.
Step 9
Transfer the deliciously seasoned king oyster mushroom salad to a serving dish. This healthy and flavorful mushroom side dish is now ready to be enjoyed with a warm bowl of rice!
