Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushroom Filling

    In a bowl, mix the crab meat, cream cheese, and chopped jalapenos. Stir well until combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Gently clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Stuff each mushroom cap with the crab mixture.

  3. 3

    Make the Tempura Batter

    In a bowl, combine the tempura batter mix and ice water. Whisk until smooth and slightly lumpy.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

  5. 5

    Fry the Mushrooms

    Dip each stuffed mushroom into the tempura batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the mushrooms from the oil and drain on paper towels. Top with shaved bonito flakes and sliced green onion. Drizzle with special sauce before serving.
