Instructions

1
Tear the king oyster mushrooms into strips. If difficult, make a small cut with a knife first, then tear along the grain.
2
Chop the scallions, separating the white and green parts. Mince the garlic and chop the chili.
3
In a small dry pan, add white peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, and salt. Dry roast over medium heat until fragrant and the peppercorns appear 'loose' and dry. Turn off the heat.
1:00 timer
4
Transfer the roasted spices and salt to a mortar and pestle. Pound until the peppercorns burst, then grind into a fine powder. Set aside.
1:00 timer
5
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the torn king oyster mushrooms and blanch on high heat until they soften, about 2-3 minutes.
3:00 timer
6
Immediately remove the blanched mushrooms and transfer them to a bowl of cold water to cool rapidly.
7
Squeeze out as much excess water as possible from the cooled mushrooms. This step is crucial for achieving the desired texture and allowing the mushrooms to absorb flavor.
8
Heat a wok over high heat. Add cooking oil and heat until it's shimmering and slightly smoking. Add the squeezed king oyster mushrooms and pan-fry, stirring constantly, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
7:00 timer
9
Remove the fried mushrooms from the wok and set aside. Leave some residual oil in the wok.
10
Add Planta margarine to the same wok. Once melted, add the chopped scallion whites, chili, and minced garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
0:30 timer
11
Return the fried king oyster mushrooms to the wok. Add a generous pinch (about 1-2 tsp) of the prepared salt and pepper seasoning. Stir-fry vigorously on high heat to combine all ingredients and ensure the mushrooms are evenly coated.
12
Finally, add the chopped scallion greens and give it one last quick stir-fry.
13
Transfer the Salt and Pepper King Oyster Mushrooms to a serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
