Kim Dae-seok's King Oyster Mushroom and Kombu Salad

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Avoid slicing the king oyster mushrooms too thin, as this reduces volume and results in a light, insubstantial texture. Keep them slightly thick and long for best results.
• Immediately after steaming, lightly sauté the mushrooms in the pan to remove excess surface moisture—this is key to achieving a chewy, meat-like texture.
• Do not discard the flavorful kombu infused with natural umami. Slicing it finely and mixing it with the mushrooms enhances depth of flavor, acting as a natural seasoning.
• The rich aroma of perilla seed powder combined with the nutty taste of partially crushed sesame seeds creates a deep, savory, and satisfying mouthfeel.
