Ingredients

• 250 grams Button mushrooms
• 100 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 50 grams Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 150 milliliters Water
• 500 milliliters Oil
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 units Red chilies, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Spring onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth and cut them into halves or quarters if large.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Gradually add water to the dry mixture, whisking until a smooth, thick batter forms.

Step 4

Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Dip each mushroom piece into the batter, ensuring even coating, and gently drop into the hot oil.

Step 6

Fry the mushrooms in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried mushrooms to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced red chilies, sautéing until fragrant.

Step 8

Add soy sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar to the pan, stirring continuously. Let it simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

Step 9

Add the fried mushrooms into the sauce, tossing them quickly to coat uniformly.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.
