Instructions

  • The process for this is actually pretty simple. You want to begin by preparing your wet and dry batters and having them ready to go. I recommend whisking the dry batter first and then the wet batter to make sure all of the spices are evenly mixed.
  • Then, grab your oyster mushrooms and dip them in the wet batter first making sure they are evenly coated, and then in the dry batter. For the wet batter, you can adjust the thickness of the batter to your preference but I prefer mine to be a little on the thinner side - so I add between 1 1/14 c and 1.5 c of water to my mixture.
  • Heat your oil to medium high heat and then shallow fry your oyster mushrooms. Carefully place then in the oil using tongs. Cook until they're golden brown and crispy.
  • Once the oyster mushrooms are cooked, place them on a dry paper towel to let the excess oil drip off there before serving.
  • Squeeze lemon juice on top of your mushrooms generously and enjoy!
  • These are so flavorful you don't really even need a sauce, but if you'd like to make one you can mix kewpie mayo and chili garlic sauce together in a 2:1 ratio (or to your preference) and use this as a dip your mushrooms into.
