Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- shiitake mushrooms 2~3 pieces
- onion 1/2 piece
- green onion 1 stalk
- gochujang 1/2 tablespoon
- oyster sauce 1 tablespoon
- sugar 1 tablespoon
- red pepper powder 1 tablespoon
- minced garlic 1 tablespoon
- vegetable oil generously
- black pepper generously
- sesame oil a little
- toasted sesame seeds a little
Recipe 🍳
- Gently wipe off the outer surface of the shiitake mushrooms, then slice them lengthwise into thick, long strips for better bite.
- Chop half an onion roughly into large pieces, and cut one green onion in half lengthwise, slicing it into finger-length pieces.
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 tablespoon gochujang, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon red pepper powder, and 1 tablespoon minced garlic. Sprinkle generously with black pepper to make a thick, dry sauce mixture.
- Heat a frying pan with plenty of vegetable oil, then add the prepared onion and green onion. Sauté over high heat until they become deeply browned and emit a smoky aroma.
- When the edges of the vegetables turn slightly charred and develop a dark brown hue, immediately reduce the heat to low.
- Place the sliced shiitake mushrooms and the entire sauce mixture on top of the sautéed vegetables. Cover the pan and steam for 2–3 minutes, allowing the internal moisture and heat to gently cook the mushrooms.
- Once the mushrooms have softened slightly, remove the lid and turn the heat back up high. Quickly stir-fry to blend the vegetable juices and sauce together, reducing them into a glossy glaze.
- When the spicy sauce evenly coats the surface of the mushrooms, turn off the heat and sprinkle sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds evenly to finish.
- Slice shiitake mushrooms and vegetables thickly, then prepare a spicy, thick jeyuk sauce using gochujang, oyster sauce, and other seasonings.
- Add oil to the pan and sauté onions and green onions over high heat until they turn dark and develop a fragrant smoky flavor.
- Lower the heat, add mushrooms and sauce, cover the pan to steam, then return to high heat to quickly cook and finish with sesame oil.
Cooking tips 💡
- As mushrooms cook, they release a significant amount of moisture—never add water when making the sauce, or the seasoning will become too diluted later.
- The key step that gives this dish its signature smoky, savory depth is sautéing the onions and green onions over high heat until they take on a dark, almost charred color.
- After adding the mushrooms and sauce, do not stir immediately—always cover the pan first to prevent the mushrooms from breaking apart and to allow them to soften evenly while absorbing the sauce.
