Prepare the king oyster mushrooms by cutting off the very bottom part of the stems. Slice the mushrooms crosswise into round, scallop-like pieces, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, carefully score a shallow crosshatch pattern onto one side of each mushroom slice. This helps them absorb flavor and gives them a nice texture.

Place the prepared mushroom slices into a clean bowl. Sprinkle the Old Bay seasoning over the mushrooms. Add the hot water and Wakame. Mix the mushrooms well with the seasonings, hot water, and Wakame to ensure they are evenly coated. The hot water will help rehydrate the Wakame and distribute the seasoning.

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the cooking oil to the hot pan. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the seasoned mushroom scallops into the pan in a single layer, scored side down first if possible. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Cook the mushroom scallops for 3-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized. Flip them gently and cook the other side until also golden brown and tender-crisp.
