Black buns, Korean fried Chicken ... both have made a mark in the food scene with the rise of Kpop culture since the last few years. To have a fresh take on this, we’ve made a plant-based version of the #dakgangjeong by stuffing portobello mushrooms with cheese, deep-fried and doused with the quintessential spicy sweet soy glaze. We made our own charcoal bun layered it with burnt leek mayo, the crispy glazed shroom & apple radish slaw.

Preparation

  1. Burnt Leek Mayo:

    • Drizzle leeks with the oils and season with salt and pepper.
    • Grill the leeks over charcoal flame until they start to char.
    • After grilling, slice the leeks finely and transfer to a food processor. It is best to slice the leeks before blending for the machine to easily cut through the fibers.
    • Add the Hellmann’s Classic Mayonnaise to the burnt leeks along with sesame oil.
    • Blend unit smooth. Taste and Adjust seasoning.
    • Store in the chiller until ready to use.
  2. Chili Sesame Glaze:

    • Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.
    • Whisk well to combine.
    • Sauce can be slightly warmed over low heat for easier handling.
  3. Stuffed Portobellos:

    • Preheat the oven to 175°C.
    • Carefully remove stems and gills from the mushrooms. Finely chop the stems and include it with the other mushrooms for the stuffing.
    • Lightly score the top of the mushrooms.
    • Place them on a baking tray or food pan. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes.
    • When the mushrooms are done, transfer to a tray lined with parchment. Let it cool before stuffing.
  4. Stuffing:

    • Heat oil in a sauté pan.
    • Sweat onions and garlic until fragrant.
    • Add the chopped mushrooms. Saute until cooked through, then taste and adjust seasoning.
    • Turn off the heat and let it cool down slightly.
    • Transfer the mushrooms into a food processor.
    • Add all the cheese and season with pepper.
    • Pulse until the mixture turns into a thick homogenous blend.
    • Transfer into a piping bag.

    • Store in the chiller to set the cheese if needed.
  5. Mushroom Batter:

    • Whisk well to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
    • Whisk again if the flour begins to set at the bottom of the bowl.

    • Add the salt, bay leaves and peppercorn. Continue to simmer for 5 more minutes.
    • Turn off the heat and immediately cool using an ice bath.
    • Combine the apples and radish in a bowl. Pour in the cooled down pickling liquid and toss. Let it stay for at least 10-15 minutes before use.
