Ingredients- Songhwa mushrooms 200g
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- A little cooking oil
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
For Songhwa mushrooms, it’s best to use them without washing if possible. Gently brush off any dirt or debris with a paper towel. If you must wash them, rinse very briefly under running water and ensure they are completely dry. (Over-soaking can diminish their flavor.)
Step 2
Trim off the thick ends of the Songhwa mushroom stems. Then, cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces that are easy to eat (about 2-3 cm). Cutting them into attractive shapes will make the finished dish look even more appealing.
Step 3
In a bowl with the cut Songhwa mushrooms, add 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon of salt (you can adjust slightly to 2/3 tsp based on your preference). The egg will add a wonderful tenderness and richness.
Step 4
Put on a pair of disposable gloves and gently massage the mushrooms with your hands. This step is crucial for evenly coating the mushrooms with the egg and salt mixture. The thin egg coating will help create a moist and tender texture when cooked.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add a small amount of cooking oil (about 1/2 Tbsp). Be careful not to use too much oil, as it can make the dish greasy. Add the egg-coated Songhwa mushrooms to the pan, spreading them out evenly. Try to ensure they are not piled up, but rather spread in a single layer as much as possible.
Step 6
As the mushrooms cook, they will release their natural moisture. Continue to stir-fry them over medium-low heat, allowing this moisture to evaporate. This process will make the mushrooms wonderfully chewy. Avoid high heat, which can cause them to burn. Patience is key to achieving that perfect chewy texture.
Step 7
Finally, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of perilla oil to add an extra layer of nutty aroma and smooth flavor. Stir-fry for another minute until everything is well combined. Your delicious Songhwa mushroom stir-fry is now ready! It pairs beautifully with freshly steamed rice.
