Wow you guys I made chicken strips from oyster mushrooms and it may have been the batter but these tasted just like Arby's chicken strips! They were so good!
(This is from cooking with ayeh.com)
150 g oyster mushrooms
▢1 ½ cups plain flour
▢1 ½ teaspoon paprika powder
▢1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
▢1 ½ teaspoon onion powder
â–˘1 teaspoon turmeric powder
▢¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more or less depending on how spicy you like it)
â–˘1 teaspoon salt
â–˘Cracked pepper
â–˘Oil for frying, ive used canola oil
Dipping Sauces
â–˘Creamy BBQ - mix equal parts of mayonnaise with bbq sauce and a dash of apple cider vinegar
â–˘Sriracha
Instructions
Wipe oyster mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt
In a large bowl, add the flour and all the spices. Mix together until well combined
In a second bowl, add â…“ cup of the flour mixture with Âľ cups of water. Whisk together until to achieve a smooth batter consistency
Dip each mushroom into the wet batter mixture then into the flour mixture. Double coat each mushroom back into the wet batter and then back
in the flour mixture, making sure the mushrooms are fully coated in flour
Heat oil in a pot over high heat and carefully drop mushrooms into the oil one at a time in batches. Don't overcrowd the pot, you can fry a few at a time depending how large your pot is. Let them fry for a few minutes until nice and golden on all sides
Remove and place on paper towels to remove excess oil, then place on a cooling rack to keep crispy until the rest is done. Enjoy with your favourite dipping sauce!
