Pan-Fried King Oyster Mushrooms
Summary:
This is a simple and flavorful vegan dish where thick slices of king oyster mushrooms are pan-seared to create a crispy, golden exterior while maintaining a juicy and tender interior.
Ingredients:
King oyster mushrooms 2 pieces (sliced into thick pieces)
Vegetable oil 1 tablespoon (such as olive oil or canola oil)
Salt 1/2 teaspoon
Light soy sauce 1 teaspoon (optional)
White pepper powder to taste (optional)
White sesame seeds 1 teaspoon (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare Ingredients:
Wash and slice the king oyster mushrooms into approximately 1cm thick slices to retain a chewy texture.
2. Heat the Pan:
Heat a pan over medium-low heat, add vegetable oil, and warm it up.
3. Sear the Mushrooms:
Place the mushroom slices in the pan in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes until the bottom turns slightly golden brown.
4. Flip and Continue Searing:
Flip the slices and sear the other side for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are evenly golden.
5. Seasoning:
Sprinkle salt (optional light soy sauce for extra flavor) and a pinch of white pepper powder, stirring slightly to coat the mushrooms evenly.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Transfer to a serving plate, optionally garnish with white sesame seeds, and serve immediately while hot and juicy.
