Recipe 🍳

  1. Slice bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and soaked abalone into uniform thickness and length for balanced texture.
  2. Butterfly and devein shrimp, halve green onions, and mince or slice garlic and ginger for aromatics.
  3. Blanch the sliced bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, abalone, and shrimp in boiling water briefly, then drain thoroughly using a sieve.
  4. Heat a pan and add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, then sauté the sliced pork until golden brown.
  5. As the pork surface begins to cook, pour 1 teaspoon of soy sauce around the edge of the pan to create a rich aroma and enhance flavor.
  6. Add the prepared green onions, garlic, and ginger to the pan, and stir-fry together with the pork until the fragrance fully infuses the oil.
  7. Pour in 1 tablespoon of rice wine to eliminate any off-flavors, then add the blanched seafood and vegetables, and stir-fry over high heat.
  8. Once ingredients are evenly mixed, add 100ml of water and simmer briefly.
  9. Add 1.5 tablespoons of oyster sauce and a pinch of white pepper, stirring well to evenly distribute the sauce flavor throughout.
  10. When the broth starts to bubble, reduce heat and gradually add the starch slurry while stirring, adjusting to a thick, cohesive consistency.
  11. Turn off the heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil evenly over the dish, mixing thoroughly to finish.
  1. Slice bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and abalone; prepare shrimp, pork, and aromatics accordingly.
  2. Blanch the prepared bamboo shoots, mushrooms, abalone, and shrimp briefly in boiling water, then drain completely.
  3. Sauté pork and aromatics in oil, adding soy sauce and rice wine to build authentic Chinese flavor.
  4. Add the blanched ingredients, water, and oyster sauce, bring to a boil, then thicken with starch slurry and finish with sesame oil.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Cut all main ingredients into consistent, not too thick slices so they blend smoothly in the mouth and don’t feel uneven when eaten.
  • If abalone is hard to find or expensive, substitute with enoki mushrooms for a chewy texture and dark color—this works wonderfully as a replacement.
  • For a complete meal, serve generously over warm rice to make a satisfying 'Yusanseul Rice Bowl' with slightly extra sauce.
