Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g oyster mushrooms
- 120 g all-purpose flour
- 60 g cornstarch
- 240 ml unsweetened plant-based milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 500 ml vegetable oil
- 120 g vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
Instructions
Trim the oyster mushrooms to mimic the size and shape of shrimp. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, plant-based milk, salt, garlic powder, and paprika to form a smooth batter.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Dip each oyster mushroom piece into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, and carefully place them into the hot oil.
Fry the mushrooms in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and maple syrup to make the bang bang sauce.
Toss the fried mushrooms with the bang bang sauce until well coated.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
