Korean BBQ Mushrooms
with Spicy Gochujang-Grilled Cabbage
Gochujang is a slightly sweet, spicy, fermented red chile paste commonly used in Korean cuisine. It adds dimension and heat to sweet grilled cabbage. Meaty oyster mushrooms soak up the bold flavors of toasted sesame oil and ginger, inspired by bulgogi (Korean BBQ). While we love savoring summertime by grilling whenever possible, you can choose to roast your cabbage and mushrooms in the oven.
