AFF Japan - Japanese Salt Grilled Eryngii Mushroom (Kinoko no shioyaki)

Do you love mushroom? I do. Very much. All kinds of mushrooms
If you are like me, you will enjoy eating this dish

Recipe is from Sonia from Nasi Lemak Lover
Thank you for sharing. I always see this mushroom in the supermarket but never try it
No clue that it's a popular dish in Japan during autumn

Also well known as king oyster mushroom, I bought two packs, each pack of 2 (200g) is $1.85
It's really yummy and oh so simple to make
Indeed the texture is like eating abalone :)

What you need:

2 pcs of eryngii mushrooms, slice each piece into 3 thick slices
2 small cubes of salted butter
sea salt
crushed black pepper
1/2 tbsp sake

Method:

1. Heat pan over medium high heat. Place butter and let it melt. Arrange sliced mushrooms - cut side down, and let cook for 2 mins for each side. This is to get a nice golden brown color on the mushrooms
2. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover pan and let cook further for another 2 mins
3. Sprinkle with sake, leave it for 30 seconds
4. Dish out and serve

I cooked this dish twice, once for dinner and another time for breakfast - yes, breakfast :)
And I still crave for more. Yum! :)
