    Korean Mushroom Side Dish

    A simple Korean mushroom side dish that's ready in under 10 minutes! Shiitake mushrooms stir fried with sesame oil & garlic. Perfect in bibimbap or kimbap!

    stir fried Korean shiitake mushroom side dish

    This Korean shiitake mushroom side dish is one of the easiest and fastest Korean side dishes (banchan) you can make! It's best served with a fresh bowl of steamed rice.

    You can use any type of mushroom in this vegan side dish but I opted with shiitake mushrooms because of their strong, earthy flavor and hearty texture.

    In Korea, this stir fried mushroom side dish is called 'beosut bokkeum.' 'Beosut' means mushroom and 'bokkeum' means stir fried. This translates to stir fried mushrooms.

    A lot of Korean side dishes (banchan) are meant to be simple and fast to prepare. This is a great example of one of those since this is ready in under 10 minutes and only requires 5 ingredients.

    This is an excellent vegan Korean side dish as the shiitake mushrooms have a meaty texture and flavor. There's also lots of umami which is perfect for vegetarians and vegans.

    How to Make Korean Mushroom Side Dish

    Make sure your pan is hot before adding the thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms.

    Saute the mushrooms with garlic, sesame oil, and scallions. After about 3 minutes, the mushrooms will soften and release some liquid. At this point, turn off the heat and season with salt and pepper.

      Would it be different to use dried shiitke mushrooms?

        You can certainly use dried shiitake mushrooms as long as they are re-hydrated first. I would soak them in warm water until they're completely soft and then squeeze them dry. Then you can slice them and prepare it the same way. 🙂
