Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g oyster mushrooms
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- as needed oil for frying
Instructions
Clean and trim the oyster mushrooms, separating them into smaller, bite-sized pieces if necessary.
In a large bowl, combine non-dairy milk and lemon juice to create a vegan buttermilk. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Add soy sauce to the vegan buttermilk and whisk until well combined. This will be your marinade.
Soak the oyster mushrooms in the marinade for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or a pot over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off, and dredge them into the flour mixture until each piece is well-coated.
Carefully place the coated mushrooms into the hot oil. Fry them in batches for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Vegan Ayam Goreng Tepung hot with your favorite side dishes and sauces.
