Crispy Oyster Mushrooms
These crispy oyster mushrooms are light, golden, and perfectly crunchy on the outside while tender inside. Made with cornstarch, Crispy Fry seasoning mix, and carbonated water for an airy batter, they’re perfect as a snack, appetizer, or meat-free side dish.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 9 oz Oyster Mushrooms
- 3/4 cup Cornstarch
- 1/4 cup Crispy Fry Seasoning Mix
- 3/4 to 1 cup Carbonated Water (adjust as needed for the batter consistency)
- Cooking Oil, for deep frying
Instructions
- Gently clean the oyster mushrooms and separate them into smaller clusters if needed. Pat dry.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch and Crispy Fry seasoning mix.
- Gradually pour in carbonated water while stirring until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms. The batter should coat the mushrooms without being too runny.
- Heat cooking oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F if using a thermometer).
- Dip each mushroom cluster into the batter, making sure it is evenly coated.
- Carefully place coated mushrooms into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for 2–4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with ranch dressing, sweet chili sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use cold carbonated water for a lighter, crispier texture.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to maintain oil temperature.
- Best served immediately while hot and crunchy.
- Sweet chili sauce or spicy mayo also pair well with this dish.
