I love mushroom so do my girls. Button mushroom,oyster,cremini or meaty portobellos, you name it and we'll love to have it. We love mushrooms in our stir fried mixed vegetables, in soups and of course deep fried. These easy and simple deep fry mushrooms are excellent as a starter on your dinner table. I prefer oyster mushroom for deep frying mainly, because of the beautiful texture.
I prepared a simple batter as i want to retain the flavour of the mushroom. The batter creates a crispy coating while retaining the moist inside. I deep fried mushrooms few times before but, couldn't get a chance to snap picture as the plate will go empty the moment it came out from the frying pan. This round, i managed to clicked some for my blog. Deep fried oyster mushroom makes a great all around snack.
Ingredients
500g fresh oyster mushrooms
1 cup water
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup rice flour
1 egg,beaten
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Oil for deep frying
Few cilantro/coriander leaves
Methods
Clean the mushroom by gently rubbing off the dirts using a clean kitchen towel and cut off the stem. Keep aside
In a bowl, combine together all purpose flour, rice flour, egg, water, cracked black pepper,garlic powder and salt. Add the cleaned mushrooms into the batter and mix gently till the mushrooms are well coated with the batter.
Heat a frying pan with oil over a medium flame. Drop the prepared mushrooms into the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes. Using a tong, turn or flip the mushrooms to cook the other side for another 1 minute or till golden. Remove from heat and drain the excess oil on a paper towel.
Sprinkle with coriander leaves and serve hot with ketchup or as it own
Notes
- Do not over crowd the mushrooms while frying which may cause the oil temperature down. Fry in smaller batches.
- Washing mushrooms with water is a bad idea as mushrooms act as a sponge to absorb water. Always clean them with a clean kitchen towel.
