Air-Fried Stuffed Mushroom Platter

A light and flavorful air-fried mushroom platter featuring king oyster, enoki, and shiitake mushrooms stuffed with savory shrimp paste, glazed in a spicy sauce.

Ingredients

• 2 king oyster mushrooms
• 6 shiitake mushrooms
• 100 g shrimp paste
• 100 g enoki mushrooms
• 1 tbsp fire chicken sauce
• 1 tbsp Korean spicy sauce
• 0.5 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• to taste water
• to taste red seasoning powder
• 1 tbsp white sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1Score the king oyster mushrooms

   

   Using a sharp knife, make light longitudinal parallel cuts along the surface of the king oyster mushrooms. This scoring technique increases the surface area, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the savory sauce more effectively during the marination and cooking process.

   Tip: Be careful not to cut all the way through the mushroom; you only want shallow scores on the surface.
2. 2Prepare the shiitake mushrooms

   

   Take the fresh shiitake mushrooms and gently twist or snap off the woody stems at the base of each cap. Set the caps aside, as they will serve as the vessel for the shrimp paste filling.

   Tip: Dont discard the stems; they can be saved and used later to add depth of flavor to homemade vegetable or mushroom stock.
3. 3Fill with shrimp paste

   

   Using a piping bag, carefully fill the cavity of each prepared shiitake mushroom cap with raw shrimp paste. Fill them generously, ensuring the paste is well-distributed within the cap.

   Tip: If you dont have a piping bag, you can use a small spoon to carefully scoop and press the shrimp paste into the caps.
4. 4Prepare the spicy marinade

   

   In a mixing bowl, combine one spoonful of fire chicken sauce, one spoonful of Korean spicy sauce, half a spoonful of sugar, two spoonfuls of soy sauce, and one spoonful of oyster sauce. Add a small amount of water to dilute the mixture slightly, then whisk everything together using a brush until well combined.

   Tip: Adjust the water amount based on your desired sauce consistency; a slightly thinner sauce will coat the mushrooms more evenly.
5. 5Brush the marinade

   

   Using a silicone brush, generously apply the prepared spicy sauce onto the scored king oyster mushrooms arranged in your tray. Ensure that the sauce reaches into the cuts you made earlier for maximum flavor absorption.

   Tip: Brush the sauce over all sides of the mushrooms to ensure uniform flavor before they go into the air fryer.
6. 6Marinate the mushrooms

   

   Using gloved hands, gently massage the remaining sauce into the mushrooms to ensure every piece is thoroughly and evenly coated. Allow the mushrooms to marinate for 30 minutes to let the flavors penetrate deeply.

   Tip: Massaging the sauce in helps the flavors penetrate the mushroom flesh more effectively than brushing alone.
7. 7Arrange mushrooms in the air fryer

   

   Using tongs, carefully place the marinated king oyster mushrooms and stuffed shiitake mushrooms into the air fryer basket, which has been lined with aluminum foil to catch drippings and make cleanup easier.

   Tip: Ensure the mushrooms are arranged in a single layer to allow for even air circulation and proper roasting.
8. 8Season and finish the platter

   

   Once the mushrooms are air-fried, sprinkle the red seasoning powder over the cooked mushrooms for an extra kick of flavor, then garnish with a final touch of white sesame seeds before serving.

   Tip: If you prefer a milder taste, adjust the amount of seasoning powder to suit your preference.
