Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 250 milliliters Cold sparkling water
- 1000 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 120 grams Mayonnaise
- 3 teaspoons Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Trim the stems if needed and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, ground paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.
Slowly pour in the cold sparkling water while whisking until a smooth batter forms. The batter should have a slightly thick consistency.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Dip each mushroom into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then gently lower it into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
To make the spicy dipping sauce, mix mayonnaise, hot sauce, lemon juice, honey, and chili flakes in a small bowl until well combined.
Serve the fried mushrooms hot with the spicy dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
