Rich & Nutty Stir-Fried Mushrooms with Perilla Powder
Make a Delicious ‘Stir-Fried Mushrooms with Perilla Powder’ That Tastes Like a Fancy Korean Side Dish, Using Inexpensive Ingredients
I often crave dishes with perilla powder. I bought a pack of inexpensive oyster mushrooms and added perilla powder, and it tasted just like the side dishes served in Korean fine dining restaurants.
Ingredients
- 1 pack Oyster mushrooms
- 1/2 stalk Green onion
- 1 Red chili pepper
Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp Perilla seed powder
- 1 Tbsp Perilla oil
- 1/3 Tbsp Minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp Soy sauce
- A pinch of Sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp Perilla seed powder
- 1 Tbsp Perilla oil
- 1/3 Tbsp Minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp Soy sauce
- A pinch of Sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the oyster mushrooms thoroughly and drain any excess water. Trim off the tough ends of the mushroom stems and then tear the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces by hand. This preparation helps the mushrooms absorb the seasoning better and improves their texture.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of perilla oil in a pot over medium-low heat. Add the prepared oyster mushrooms and cover with a lid. Let them cook for about 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms wilt and release their moisture. This gentle cooking method enhances the mushrooms’ natural flavor.
Step 3
While the mushrooms are cooking, finely chop the green onion. Also, remove the seeds from the red chili pepper and slice it thinly to add a pop of color to the dish. If you prefer a bit of heat, you can use a green chili pepper instead.
Step 4
Once the mushrooms have softened, remove the lid. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1/3 tablespoon of minced garlic, the chopped green onion, and the sliced red chili pepper to the pot. Stir everything together well over medium-high heat for about 1-2 minutes until the ingredients are evenly combined and lightly stir-fried.
Step 5
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of perilla seed powder and stir gently to combine. Your delicious stir-fried mushrooms with perilla powder are now ready! It’s important not to overcook the mushrooms after adding the perilla powder to preserve its rich, nutty flavor.
Step 6
Transfer the stir-fried mushrooms to a serving dish and sprinkle with a pinch of sesame seeds for garnish. It’s incredibly satisfying to make such a delicious side dish with simple, inexpensive ingredients! Each bite is an explosion of nutty flavor from the perilla oil and powder, making it a perfect accompaniment to rice, reminiscent of the banchan served in Korean fine dining restaurants. Enjoy this authentic taste at home with ease!
