• It is best to avoid washing, but if you prefer to wash, clean them with a wet cloth or quickly raising under running water, and set aside for a while for draining.
• Cut the mushrooms, firstly remove the hard end of the mushrooms then cut into 1cm to 1.5cm thickness round cylinders. Make some parallel shallow lines on one side. Then rotate the mushroom and continue cutting parallel shallow lines from another angle. Repeat the process on the other side too. This pattern will enhance the flavour greatly.
• Brush some oil in a pan and place the king oyster mushrooms in. Use middle to high fire and fry one side until slightly seared and then turn over the fry the other side. The whole process should be around 3-5 minutes and mushrooms. Transfer the mushrooms out If you decided to wash the mushrooms, they may release more water when cooking. Pour any excess water away whilst cooking.
• FOR THE GARLIC SAUCE – add oil and fry ¾ of the minced garlic until aroma. Then place the remaining ¼ of the garlic, add salt, sugar, light soy sauce and oyster sauce.
• Mix well and add fried mushrooms. Place in green onion sections and fresh red pepper circles. Quickly toss to mix everything well. Serve hot!
