Rai LewisThe FUN Kitchen
Ingredients (for wet mix)
- 1⁄2 cup all purpose flour
- 3⁄4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Ingredients (for dry mix)
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Take your oyster mushrooms out the package, pull apart to desired size, rinse well, season and sit to the side.
Make wet batter. Place 1⁄2 cup of all purpose flour in a large mixing bowl along with garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt. Add in milk and mix well. Your batter should be the right consistency to coat mushrooms; not too thick and not too runny. Set aside.
Make dry mix. Place 1 cup of all purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder in a mixing bowl or ziplock bag mix until fully combined. Set aside.
Grab your frying pan, add and heat oil.
When oil is hot enough, coat each oyster mushroom in the wet batter then in dry mix until evenly coated. Note: do not go back and forth between the wet and dry batter to prevent over breading, it will not fry well!
Carefully place mushrooms in oil allowing mushrooms to fry for about 3 – 4 minutes until evenly browned. Remove done mushrooms from the oil and place on a plate cover with a paper towel.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, on top of a salad, or along with your favorite sides for dinner!
Pro tip: season mushrooms, wet, and dry mix well for added flavor.
