Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the king oyster, button, and shiitake mushrooms, bell pepper, and broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Trim the bok choy and wood ear mushrooms.
  2. To preserve its aroma, cut the wild pine mushroom into 3 pieces and set aside separately.
  3. Add 10g cooking oil to a pan and lightly stir-fry the finely chopped green onion and minced garlic until fragrant.
  4. Add 5g soy sauce and bring to a boil, then add 5g doubanjiang and 10g oyster sauce in that order to create the sauce base.
  5. Add the prepared mushrooms and vegetables and stir-fry evenly until they wilt.
  6. Add the wild pine mushroom, stir-fry briefly, then immediately pour in 200ml water and bring to a boil.
  7. Add Miwon (MSG) and dark soy sauce to enhance the umami and deepen the color. Adjust the seasoning with oyster sauce if needed, then add a pinch of white pepper powder.
  8. Gradually add the starch slurry while stirring to achieve the desired thickness, then pour over a bowl of rice to finish.
  1. Cut all mushrooms and vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat oil in a pan, stir-fry green onion and garlic, then add soy sauce, doubanjiang, and oyster sauce to season.
  3. Stir-fry the vegetables and mushrooms, add water, and season with Miwon, dark soy sauce, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  4. Add starch slurry to thicken to the desired consistency and serve over rice.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Add the wild pine mushroom last and stir-fry briefly to prevent its unique aroma from dissipating.
  • When adding the starch slurry, stir evenly to avoid lumps and check the consistency.
  • When cooking at home, you can substitute hard-to-find mushrooms with king oyster or enoki mushrooms for equally great flavor.
