Raw King Oyster, though dense and spongy in texture, lack aroma and flavour, but when cooked, the mushrooms have a savory umami flavour, a soft, crunchy texture, and a mild flavour reminiscent of abalone.
PREP: King Trumpet mushrooms are best suited for cooked applications such as grilling, roasting, baking, sautéing, and frying.
They can be sliced or torn into thick pieces and simmered or braised to create a crispy texture, or they can be cut into rounds to develop a tender, meat-like consistency.
They will keep 1-2 weeks when stored in a paper bag in the refrigerator.
