Beoseot gui pairs meaty king oyster and shiitake mushrooms with a savory soy-sesame glaze, grilled until charred at the edges and juicy inside. It's a staple at Korean barbecue tables, served alongside grilled meats or as a light banchan with rice. The glaze comes together quickly, letting the mushrooms' natural texture take center stage.
Ingredients
- 1 pound king oyster mushrooms, halved lengthwise
- 6 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 0 salt and pepper, to taste
Method
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, mirin, and minced garlic until the sugar dissolves.
-
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush the grates with vegetable oil.
-
Toss the king oyster and shiitake mushrooms with the vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Place the mushrooms on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until char marks form and the mushrooms soften, about 6 minutes.
-
Brush the mushrooms generously with the soy-sesame glaze and continue grilling, turning once, until glazed and lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes.
-
Transfer the mushrooms to a cutting board and slice the larger king oyster pieces on a bias if desired.
-
Arrange on a platter, drizzle with any remaining glaze, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
