Kim Dae-seok's Shiitake and Shishito Pepper Stir-Fry

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• If you stir-fry the mushrooms first, they will absorb all the soy sauce and become overly salty—instead, start with onions and peppers to release moisture and oil, which helps balance the seasoning.
• Shiitake mushrooms absorb a lot of water, so avoid soaking them for too long; simply wipe them with a damp cloth or rinse quickly under running water.
• Cooking over medium-low heat allows the mushrooms' moisture to be retained, resulting in a firm, chewy, and satisfying texture similar to meat.
