Method
- Mix together the ingredients for the ssamjang dressing with 2 tbsp water in a small bowl; set aside.
- Brush the mushroom tops with the oil. Light the barbecue and wait until the flames have died down and the coals are white. Alternatively, heat a griddle pan over a high heat until hot. Cook the mushrooms for 10-12 mins, turning occasionally, until softened. Transfer to a bowl, cover and leave to cool slightly.
- After 5-10 mins you should notice the brown liquid from the mushrooms pooling at the bottom of the bowl; discard this. Slice the mushrooms into 1.5cm-thick strips and transfer to a serving platter. Pour over the ssamjang dressing and leave to marinate for 10 mins (or for up to 30 mins). Scatter with a pinch of salt, the red chilli and crispy onions to serve.
