This Man's Cook's Shiitake Mushroom Stir-Fry

A delicious side dish made by grilling dry shiitake mushrooms to remove moisture, then stir-frying them in a spicy-sweet gochujang doubanjiang sauce to achieve a chewy texture similar to jeyukbokkeum.

Cooking tips

  • Do not slice the shiitake mushrooms too thickly—over 0.5cm will cause excess moisture to release during cooking, making the dish soggy. Keep the thickness consistent for best results.
  • Grilling the mushrooms in a dry pan without oil is essential to fully evaporate moisture and achieve a firm, chewy texture comparable to meat.
  • Cooking the onions at medium or lower heat until they turn golden brown brings out a deep, natural sweetness that’s hard to replicate with artificial sweeteners.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a hearty, spicy side dish as satisfying as jeyukbokkeum, even without meat.
  • Home cooks looking to transform leftover shiitake mushrooms and onions into a gourmet meal.
  • Fans of bold, savory Chinese-style stir-fries enhanced with the rich umami of doubanjiang and oyster sauce.
