About

This dish is one of my favorite toppings for rice or noodles, especially the Soy Sauce Noodles. The king oyster mushroom slices are charred until chewy and a bit crispy and then finished in a savory sauce that’s slightly sweet.

Method

Cut the king oyster mushrooms in half lengthwise, then slice each half lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick (6 mm) pieces. Transfer to a large plate.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, wine, and sugar for the sauce and stir to mix well.
Use a small spoon to distribute the sauce over the mushrooms, then mix with chopsticks until they are evenly coated wit
