Ingredients
- 500 grams Oyster mushrooms
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 30 grams Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 240 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Clean the oyster mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove any tough stems.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes to curdle, forming a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Step 3
In another large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Dip each mushroom into the vegan buttermilk, ensuring it's well-coated, then transfer to the flour mixture. Press the flour mixture onto the mushroom to form an even coating.
Step 5
Place coated mushrooms on a plate and let them rest for about 5 minutes to set the coating.
Step 6
While the mushrooms rest, heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Step 7
Carefully fry the mushrooms in batches, ensuring they are not overcrowded in the pan. Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried mushrooms hot with your favorite vegan dipping sauce.
