Crispy Fried King Blue Oyster Mushrooms

Yields: 4 servings Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 pound King Blue oyster mushrooms
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup water
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Cut them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Make batter: In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
3. Coat mushrooms: Dip each mushroom piece into the egg mixture, then coat in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess.
4. Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the coated mushrooms to the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
5. Drain and serve: Remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a lemon-dill aioli or a spicy sriracha mayo.
