Ingredients
- 250 g oyster mushrooms
- 120 g all-purpose flour
- 60 g cornstarch
- 240 ml unsweetened plant-based milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 500 ml vegetable oil
- 120 g vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Trim the oyster mushrooms to mimic the size and shape of shrimp. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, plant-based milk, salt, garlic powder, and paprika to form a smooth batter.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 4
Dip each oyster mushroom piece into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, and carefully place them into the hot oil.
Step 5
Fry the mushrooms in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and maple syrup to make the bang bang sauce.
Step 7
Toss the fried mushrooms with the bang bang sauce until well coated.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
