Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Blanch king oyster mushrooms in boiling water for exactly 40 seconds, then immediately rinse under cold water. This preserves their characteristic chewy texture.
• Adding 1 spoonful of anchovy fish sauce enhances the umami depth, allowing the savory flavor to penetrate the green onions and balance the dressing perfectly.
• Avoid pressing too hard or rubbing vigorously during mixing—this can release a harsh green onion smell. Use only the fingertips for gentle tossing to achieve the best flavor.
