Method
Preparation
- 1
Clean the Mushrooms
Gently wipe the fresh button mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary.
- 2
Chop the Garlic and Parsley
Finely chop the garlic cloves and the fresh parsley, and set aside for later use.
Batter Preparation
- 3
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
- 4
Add Cold Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the mushrooms.
Frying
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a large deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
- 6
Batter the Mushrooms
Dip each mushroom into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- 7
Fry the Mushrooms
Carefully place the battered mushrooms into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 8
Drain Excess Oil
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
