Steps to Follow

Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients

• Soak the king oyster mushrooms in diluted salt water for about 20 minutes to remove dirt. Then rinse thoroughly with water and let them drain.
• Wash the green onions, chop them finely. Peel the shallots and garlic, mince them. Slice the Thai chili thinly.

Step 2: Marinating the Mushrooms

• Place the king oyster mushrooms in a large bowl, add ½ teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of MSG, ½ teaspoon of vegetarian seasoning powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of pepper, ½ teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of minced shallots, 1 tablespoon of vegetarian fish sauce, and 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce. Mix well and marinate for about 15-20 minutes to allow the mushrooms to absorb the flavors.

Step 3: Braising the Mushrooms

• Heat a pan over the stove with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the remaining minced shallots and garlic and sauté until fragrant over medium heat.
• Next, add the marinated king oyster mushrooms and stir-fry over low heat for about 10 minutes until the mushrooms become firm.
• Then, add the chopped green onions, sliced Thai chili, and 2 teaspoons of pepper, and cook for another minute. Adjust the seasoning to taste, then turn off the heat.

Tip: To preserve the rich sweetness of the mushrooms, avoid adding water during the braising process!
