Directions

Step 1

Clean the king oyster mushrooms and shred them using a fork or finely chop them by hand.

Place the shredded mushrooms in a mixing bowl.

Finely chop the green onions and garlic, then add them to the bowl with the mushrooms.

Once the oil is hot, place the triangles in the pan, sesame seed side down, and fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
