The Secret Ingredients & Where to Find Them

You don’t need a trip to a specialty store to make this happen. Most items are pantry staples or easily found in your neighborhood grocery store.

• King Oyster Mushrooms: Found in the specialty produce section at Whole Foods or Sprouts. If you can’t find them, Portobello mushroom slices are a fantastic, meaty alternative.

• Cornstarch: Available in the baking aisle of any Walmart or Target.

• Gochujang (Korean Chili Paste): Now available in the "International" aisle at most Safeway, Kroger, or Ralphs.

  • Alternative: If you want to skip the spice, mix a little BBQ sauce with a drop of Sriracha.

• Allulose: You can find this sugar substitute at Sprouts, Whole Foods, or via Amazon.

  • Alternative: Use Honey or Maple Syrup for a natural glaze.

• Sesame Oil & Soy Sauce: Standard items in the Asian food aisle of your local supermarket.

The 7-Step "K-BBQ" Method

1. Prep: Slice your King Oyster mushrooms into long, uniform strips.

2. Blanch: Dip them into boiling water for 30 seconds, then pat them completely dry. This helps them stay tender.

3. Skewer: Fold the strips into an "accordion" shape and thread them onto wooden skewers.

1. Dust: Lightly coat the skewers in cornstarch. This is the secret to that addictive, slightly crispy edge!

2. Whisk the Magic: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, a splash of mirin (or rice vinegar), minced garlic, Allulose, one tablespoon of Gochujang, and a drizzle of sesame oil.

3. Sear: Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil. Lay your skewers down and let them get golden brown.

4. Glaze: Brush your sauce onto the skewers as they cook, flipping them until they are perfectly caramelized. Enjoy the sizzle!
