Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon dark soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, grated on a Microplane or smashed and minced
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound king oyster mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons neutral-flavored oil, or as needed (see note)
- 1 scallion, finely sliced for garnish
Steps
- Melt the butter in the microwave and stir in the soy sauces, honey, garlic, and black pepper. Mix well and reserve.
- Slice the mushrooms lengthwise into ¼-inch thick planks.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast iron skillet over medium high and generously brush with oil.
- When hot, working in batches, add the mushrooms in a single layer. They should sizzle. Leave some space between them so that they brown rather than steam. Brush the tops with oil.
- Fry until golden brown (~5 mins per side), using a spatula to press down on the ones that bend up to get full-pan contact and uniform browning.
- Transfer the done ones to a plate and repeat with the remaining shrooms, adding more oil if needed between batches.
- Return all the mushrooms to the skillet, pour in the glaze, and turn off the heat.
- Toss the mushrooms in the glaze, using the residual heat of the pan.
- Garnish with chopped scallions and serve.
Pro Tips
- Use a heat-resistant brush to coat the skillet with oil, you don't need a pool. Brush the tops of the shrooms before flipping to get good browning.
