About this dish

King oyster mushrooms are cut lengthwise into thick planks and scored in a crosshatch, which gives them enough heft to stand in for meat over rice.

They are seared in a dry pan first to drive off water, then glazed with soy sauce, cooking wine and sugar, and they stay chewy under the sauce.

Tips

Searing the mushrooms in a dry pan first expels excess moisture, giving them a meaty texture.
Making deep diamond cuts on the mushrooms helps the soy glaze penetrate better and improves presentation.
