Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 2-3 king oyster mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cooking wine (mirin)
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 Cheongyang chili pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • Some cooking oil

Recipe 🍳

  1. Trim the dirty bottom of the king oyster mushrooms and slice them lengthwise into even pieces for grilling.
  2. Cut the Cheongyang chili pepper in half, remove the seeds, and finely chop.
  3. In a bowl, mix gochugaru, soy sauce, cooking wine, and gochujang in a 1:1:1:1 ratio (1 tbsp each) until well combined.
  4. Add the chopped chili pepper and half of the sesame seeds to the sauce, mixing well to complete the spicy sauce.
  5. Heat a pan over medium heat, lightly coat with cooking oil, and place the sliced mushrooms without overlapping.
  6. Grill until the mushrooms release some moisture and both sides turn golden brown.
  7. Spread the prepared spicy sauce evenly on both sides of the grilled mushrooms.
  8. Over low heat, gently grill the mushrooms again on both sides to let the sauce soak in, being careful not to burn.
  9. Turn off the heat, drizzle sesame oil, and sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds on top to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Remember the sauce ratio of gochugaru, soy sauce, cooking wine, and gochujang as 1:1:1:1; it's easy to memorize and can be used for other mushrooms or grilled rice cakes.
  • After applying the sauce, grill quickly over low heat to prevent burning on high heat, ensuring a clean finish.
  • Removing the seeds from Cheongyang chili pepper and chopping finely gives a clean, spicy flavor without messiness.
