Method

Mushroom Nuggets Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lion's Mane Mushrooms

    Clean the lion's mane mushrooms with a damp cloth. Tear them into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add water while whisking until a smooth batter forms.

    Coat the Mushrooms

    Dip each piece of mushroom into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.

    Fry the Nuggets

    In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered mushrooms in batches and fry until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
