Bang Bang King Oyster Mushrooms

Turned out really well. This is kind of a room temperature salad. We used white mushrooms and sliced them rather than shred. King oyster mushrooms are not easy to find. We just improvised with what ingredients we had rather than buying specialty. For instance, used tahini, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and regular peppercorn. Added peanuts for a crunch. Served on hot rice.

I start by cutting the mushrooms, lengthwise, into 1-2cm thick slices, then steam. After steaming I shred the mushrooms and add them to a hot pan with some oil, season with salt, and give them a bit of a sear. I prefer to add roasted peanuts (crushed) instead of sesame paste. I also sometimes add a pinch of MSG.
