Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Button mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 pieces Green chili
- 2 stalks Spring onion greens
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
Instructions
Clean the button mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them in halves if they are large or leave them whole if they are small.
In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Toss in the mushrooms to coat them evenly with the dry mixture.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully fry the coated mushrooms in small batches until golden and crispy. Remove and place them on paper towels to drain the excess oil.
Finely chop the garlic, green chilies, and spring onion greens.
In a separate frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the leftover oil. Add the garlic and green chilies, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the crispy mushrooms to the pan. Toss them with soy sauce, the remaining black pepper, white pepper, and the remaining salt, ensuring everything is well coated.
Garnish with spring onion greens and serve hot as a delicious appetizer.
