Ingredients- 1 pack of King Oyster Mushrooms (approx. 200g)
- 1/3 medium Onion
- A small piece of Carrot (about 1/5th of a medium carrot)
- 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce (30ml)
- A pinch of Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thinly slice the onion. Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and stir-fry until they become translucent and fragrant. Sautéing the onions first helps to bring out their natural sweetness and enhance the overall flavor profile.
Step 2
Once the onions are softened, add the julienned carrots to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds. Prepare the king oyster mushrooms by trimming the tough ends and then either slicing them or tearing them into bite-sized pieces. Add the prepared mushrooms to the pan with the onions and carrots.
Step 3
Now, turn up the heat to high and stir-fry everything quickly. King oyster mushrooms can become watery and tough if overcooked, so it’s crucial to cook them over high heat for a short time to maintain their pleasant chewy texture. Once the mushrooms have slightly softened, add 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce and stir well to coat everything evenly. Finish by grinding some fresh black pepper over the dish for an extra layer of flavor. (Optional: A sprinkle of perilla powder at the end is also delicious, but we’ll skip it today!)
Step 4
And there you have it – a delicious and perfectly textured stir-fried king oyster mushroom dish with oyster sauce! This simple yet flavorful side dish will add a wonderful touch to your meal. Its quick preparation makes it a go-to option for any occasion, so be sure to give it a try. It’s a dish the whole family will love!
