Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mushrooms

    Thoroughly rinse the fresh mushrooms under cold running water. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Make the Batter

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or frying pan, pour in the oil for frying and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle immediately.

  2. 5

    Coat the Mushrooms

    Dip each cleaned mushroom into the batter, making sure it is evenly coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

  3. 6

    Fry the Mushrooms

    Carefully place the battered mushrooms into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
