Steps
Since it is a mushroom rice bowl, we will need mushrooms.
I used king oyster mushrooms, but young oyster mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms are great too, and adding enoki mushrooms at the end is also delicious.
Halve the king oyster mushrooms lengthwise and slice them into slightly thick flat pieces.
Julienne about 1/3 of a large can of Spam. You can cut it into any size you like.
Slice the onion, large green onion, and chili peppers into thin strips or on the bias.
Carrots, Korean zucchini, or bell peppers are also good.
Sausage or meat instead of Spam is also good.
Mix 1 tbsp potato starch and 1 tbsp water together and set aside.
Heat a pan, swirl in about 2 tbsp oil, and sauté the garlic without burning it to release its aroma.
Then add the Spam and stir-fry it lightly. (If using meat, add it in place of the Spam and stir-fry.)
Add the mushrooms and onion, stir-fry lightly, then add the anchovy broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and mirin.
Bring it to a boil, and once the vegetables soften slightly...
Add the large green onion and chili peppers. Once all the ingredients soften and start releasing moisture, season with salt.
Stir the starch slurry once more, swirl it into the pan, and mix.
Once the sauce thickens, turn off the heat, stir in the toasted sesame oil, ground black pepper, and toasted sesame seeds, and it is done.
FAQ
Can I use different kinds of mushrooms instead of king oyster mushrooms?
You can use young oyster mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms added at the very end of cooking also go very well.
Is there anything I can use instead of Spam?
You can use regular sausage or meats like pork or beef instead of Spam.
How do I prevent the starch slurry from clumping when adding it?
Mix the potato starch and water in a 1:1 ratio ahead of time, then stir it thoroughly once more right before swirling it into the pan so it does not clump.
