This Man's Cook Spicy Shiitake Mushroom Stir-fry
🍽️ A budget-friendly side dish featuring chewy shiitake mushrooms roasted in a dry pan to remove moisture, then stir-fried with a spicy-sweet umami-rich sauce that delivers bold flavor without the need for meat.
Trim the stems of the shiitake mushrooms and remove any dirt, then slice them lengthwise into 0.5cm thick pieces.
Cut the whole garlic into thirds, and thinly slice half an onion to help the seasoning penetrate better.
In a bowl, mix together gochujang 1 tablespoon, red pepper powder 1 tablespoon, soy sauce 2 tablespoons, oyster sauce 1 tablespoon, corn syrup 2 tablespoons, mirin 3 tablespoons, and water 5 tablespoons to make the sauce.
Place the shiitake mushrooms in a dry pan with no oil and roast on medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until both sides are golden brown and all moisture has evaporated.
In another pan, add vegetable oil 2 tablespoons and sauté the sliced garlic over medium heat until fragrant.
Once the garlic turns golden, add the sliced onion and cook for about 1 minute, just until the onion softens slightly.
Add the roasted shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry for 30 seconds, then pour in the prepared sauce.
Increase the heat to high and stir-fry rapidly, reducing the sauce until it clings tightly to the mushrooms and no sauce remains visible at the bottom of the pan. Finish by mixing in sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds.
Slice the shiitake mushrooms, thinly slice the onion, and cut the garlic into slices. Prepare the sauce with the listed ingredients.
Roast the mushrooms in a dry pan to remove moisture, then sauté garlic and onion in oil to build aroma.
Add the mushrooms and sauce, then stir-fry quickly over high heat until the sauce coats the mushrooms evenly. Finish with sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds.
Cooking tips 💡
Slicing the mushrooms horizontally makes them appear more abundant, while slicing them vertically creates larger, satisfying mouthfuls.
Roasting moisture-heavy shiitake mushrooms in a dry pan first enhances their chewy, meat-like texture and ensures no liquid forms after cooking.
Stir-frying over high heat allows the sauce to adhere evenly to the mushrooms without separating or running off.
