Vegetarian galbi marinade, could someone advise?

I have been trying to recreate a vegetarian version of galbi-style marinade using king oyster mushrooms as the base, since they are fairly available at the local supermarket near our tech park. Most recipes I came across rely on Asian pear and soy sauce, both of which I could manage, but the depth of flavor still feels somewhat lacking compared to what I have tasted at a Korean restaurant here in Bengaluru. I attempted adding a bit of grated ginger and sesame oil, but the result was still a little flat and slightly bitter after grilling. Could someone advise on what might be missing, perhaps a specific ratio or an ingredient substitute that could help balance the sweetness and umami without using any meat-based stock? Any guidance would be genuinely appreciated, as I am quite invested in getting this one right for a small gathering next weekend.
