A crispy, savory-sweet recipe for tangsu mushrooms enhanced with doubanjiang for a spicy, tangy kick, as suggested by Chef Yeo Kyung-rae.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding a small amount of vegetable oil to the starch batter helps release moisture from the mushrooms during frying, resulting in an even crispier texture.
  • Since shiitake mushrooms contain more moisture than meat, they must be fried thoroughly until the outer surface is completely firm to prevent sogginess.
  • Adding doubanjiang balances the sweetness and acidity of the sauce, preventing it from becoming cloying while delivering a clean, refreshing flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a lighter, healthier, yet satisfyingly crispy fried dish compared to traditional pork tangsu yu.
  • People who prefer a slightly spicier and cleaner-tasting sauce than the standard tangsu sauce.
