120kcal
Ingredients
For the Marinade
- 3 tablespoons Gochujang Korean red chili paste
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Low sodium recommended
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil For flavor
- 1 tablespoon Honey Can substitute with maple syrup for vegan option
- 1 clove Garlic Minced
- 1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar For acidity
For the Mushrooms
- 4 pieces King Oyster Mushrooms Sliced into 1/2 inch thick pieces
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil For grilling
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds Toasted, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons Scallions Thinly sliced, for garnish
Method
Prepare the Marinade
- In a mixing bowl, combine the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Whisk until smooth and well combined. This marinade will infuse the mushrooms with a spicy and savory flavor.
Marinate the Mushrooms
- Add the sliced king oyster mushrooms to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. If you have more time, marinating for up to 30 minutes will enhance the taste.
Grill the Mushrooms
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the marinated mushrooms on the grill.
- Grill the mushrooms for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks. This step caramelizes the sugars in the marinade, adding depth to the flavor.
Serve the Dish
- Once grilled, remove the mushrooms from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions for garnish. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
