🛒 Ingredients
🔥 Directions
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
🍄 Crispy Mushrooms
- 2–3 king oyster mushrooms
- ⅔ cup (80 g) all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp (6 g) baking powder
- Water, as needed
- Neutral oil, for frying
- 80 g Secret Ingredient
🧂 Mushroom Seasoning
- 2 pinches herb seasoning salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- ⅓ tsp oyster sauce
- A little neutral oil
🌶️ Aromatics
- Dried red chilies, to taste
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- A little neutral oil
🍯 Sweet & Sour Sauce
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 3 tbsp water
👩🏻🍳 How to Make
1️⃣ Prep the Mushrooms 🍄
- Slice mushrooms into ¼–⅜-inch (½–1 cm) rounds.
- Toss with herb salt, pepper, oyster sauce, and a little oil.
- Mix gently until evenly coated.
📌 Go easy on the oyster sauce. Too much can draw out moisture.
2️⃣ Make the Crispy Batter 🥣
- Combine flour, Secret Ingredient, and baking powder.
- Slowly add water, stirring until smooth.
- Aim for a thick, pourable batter, similar to yogurt.
📌 The Secret Ingredient and baking powder help create a light, crispy coating.
📌 Add water gradually. You don't want a runny batter.
3️⃣ Fry Until Golden 🔥
- Heat oil to 340–355°F (170–180°C).
- Dip each mushroom slice into the batter.
- Fry in small batches until golden and crispy.
- Transfer to a wire rack or paper towels to drain.
📌 Don't overcrowd the pan. Keep the oil hot for the crispiest results.
4️⃣ Make the Sweet & Sour Sauce 🍯
- Soak dried chilies briefly in water, then drain.
- Heat a little oil in a skillet.
- Sauté garlic and chilies until fragrant.
- Add sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, and water.
- Simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened.
📌 Sautéing the garlic and chilies first gives the sauce a deeper flavor.
5️⃣ Toss & Serve ✨
- Turn off the heat once the sauce thickens.
- Add the fried mushrooms and toss quickly to coat.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately!
📌 Toss right before serving to keep that crispy coating.
