[Korean Recipes] Shiitake Mushroom Namool

Traditionally, Korean meals have a large variety of dishes. Normally I’m partial to one-dish meals because of their ease and clean-up. Thankfully, many of these namools, or seasoned vegetable side dishes, come together in a flash, use the exact same flavorings, making it possible to reuse the pans.

I experimented with a couple different vegetables, like shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms and green peppers, but the possibilities are endless. I think this would also work really well with cubes of roasted eggplant or even spinach or bok choy.

DIRECTIONS:

Drain the soaking liquid from the shiitake mushrooms and gently squeeze out the water from the mushrooms. Combine mushrooms with the sesame seeds, minced garlic and a pinch of salt and mix together.

Coat a large skillet with the vegetable oil and heat over high heat. Add the seasoned mushrooms to the pan and stir fry for a minute or two, until the mushrooms begin to soften slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil and green onion.
