A plant-based recipe for delicious fried 'chicken' made from oyster mushrooms, coated in a flavorful batter. This recipe serves 3 and is perfect for enjoying a cruelty-free meal.
1: Combine the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Brush any dirt off the mushrooms, then add them to the wet mixture and stir until they’re fully coated.
2: Combine the dry ingredients, including 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, in a separate mixing bowl.
3: Add the vegetable oil to a saucepan on medium heat. The oil should be at least 5cm (2”) deep in the pan and heated to approximately 180°C / 356°F.
4: When the oil is hot enough, dip one mushroom into the dry ingredients and toss to coat. Carefully drop the mushroom into the hot oil and fry for 2-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the fried ‘chicken’ using a slotted spoon and place it on kitchen paper to soak up excess oil. Repeat for the remaining mushrooms.
5: Sprinkle extra salt on top to serve and enjoy!
