- 2 Tbsp Butter

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the star of this delicious simmered mushroom dish: the King Oyster Mushrooms. Wash them thoroughly under running water.
Step 2
Trim off the tough bottom part of the King Oyster Mushrooms.
Step 3
Cut them into 3-4 pieces each for easy eating. Make sure they are not too thin.
Step 4
Score the surface of the King Oyster Mushrooms with cross-shaped cuts. This helps the sauce penetrate better and improves the texture.
Step 5
Make close-set, grid-like scores on both the top and bottom sides of the mushrooms. Flip them over and score the other side in the same way.
Step 6
Once the mushrooms are prepared, let’s get the complementary ingredients ready to add more flavor. Start with the whole garlic cloves.
Step 7
Peel and wash the whole garlic cloves cleanly.
Step 8
Slice the prepared whole garlic cloves thinly.
Step 9
Then, julienne the thinly sliced garlic.
Step 10
Finally, mince the julienned garlic finely. This will release a more intense garlic aroma.
Step 11
Wash the scallions, pat them dry, and thinly slice them. They can be used as a garnish or stir-fried with the mushrooms.
Step 12
Now, let’s start cooking. Preheat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add 1 Tbsp of canola oil.
Step 13
Once the canola oil has spread across the pan, add 2 Tbsp of butter, the key to its rich flavor.
Step 14
Wait for the butter to melt slowly in the pan. Be careful with the heat to prevent the butter from burning.
Step 15
When the butter has completely melted, add all the prepared King Oyster Mushrooms to the pan.
Step 16
Increase the heat to medium and sear the King Oyster Mushrooms, flipping them to get a nice golden-brown color on each side. This process removes moisture and creates a chewy texture.
Step 17
Once the King Oyster Mushrooms are nicely browned and golden on both sides,
Step 18
Gently push the sautéed garlic and sliced scallions to one side of the pan, creating a space.
Step 19
Add the minced garlic and chopped scallions into the created space and start stir-frying them.
Step 20
Stir-fry the garlic and scallions with the mushrooms to release their aroma. You’ll start to smell the fragrant garlic.
Step 21
When the garlic aroma is strong and the garlic starts to turn slightly brown, it’s time to add the simmering sauce. Keep the heat at medium-low.
Step 22
Add 1 Tbsp of soy sauce.
Step 23
Add 1 Tbsp of oyster sauce. Oyster sauce adds a wonderful umami flavor.
Step 24
Finally, add 1 Tbsp of oligodang (corn syrup) for a touch of sweetness.
Step 25
Once all the sauce ingredients are added, gently mix everything together to ensure the sauce coats the mushrooms, garlic, and scallions evenly.
Step 26
After mixing, quickly stir-fry all the ingredients together over medium heat for about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the sauce.
Step 27
Lastly, add 1 Tbsp of cooking wine (like mirin or sake) to further enhance the flavor. Cooking wine helps to remove any gamey smell and adds a nice sheen.
Step 28
After adding the cooking wine, simmer for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has slightly reduced to a glaze, and your delicious King Oyster Mushroom simmered dish is complete! It’s incredibly tasty served over hot rice.
