Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Inserting a wooden chopstick into the mushroom stem and using a peeler makes it safe and easy to create consistent, noodle-like strips.
  • King oyster mushrooms have high water content, so they steam well in the microwave without added water or a cover, and won't burn.
  • Perilla seed powder, key to the savory flavor, goes rancid easily, so it's best to store it in the freezer.
  • Don't discard the squeezed mushroom liquid; use it as a stock base in soybean paste stew or soups for added depth of flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a quick and easy side dish using only a microwave, without any stovetop cooking.
  • Those who want to enjoy a chewy, meat-like texture and maximum savory flavor from mushrooms.
  • Those looking for a mild yet umami-rich, healthy side dish.
