073 - Crispy Enoki Mushroom!

Deep fried food is my love/hate kinda thing. I loved the fact that they’re crunchy and tasty, but I hated the fact that they tend to be greasy and fattening. But indulging on them once in a while is a-okay on my book!

Anyway, my friend introduced me to this dish at one of our favorite Chinese restaurant, and I’m forever hooked. Needless today, I managed to make a replica, which is also hell of a lot better!

Introducting, the CRISPY ENOKI MUSHROOM!


For 1 Serving, you will need;


·         1 pre-packed Enoki Mushroom (Approximately 50 grams)
·         1 Egg
·         100 ml Water
·         Oil for frying

For the breading
·         200 grams of Cornstarch
·         150 grams of All Purpose Flour
·         1 tsp of Garlic Powder
·         1 tsp of Onion Powder
·         1 tsp of Paprika Powder
·         1 tsp of Chili Powder
·         1 tsp of Salt
·         1 tsp of White Pepper
·         1 tsp of Black Pepper
·         2 tsp of Dried Parsley
·         ½ tsp of Mustard Powder (Optional)


Ready? Here We Go!

Step 1 – Cut off the root part of the Enoki, and proceed to tear the Enoki into small strand using your fingers. Set aside





Step 2 – Combine all the breading ingredients on a large bowl, mix to combine.

I love spices!




Step 3 – Crack your eggs, add the water and stir.



Step 4 – Set up your breading station, the order goes Eggbath – Breading – Oil. Meanwhile, heat up your oil on a medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, or until hot.

Step 5 – Dip your Enoki strands on the eggs, add it to the breading, and proceed to dip it into the oil. Deep fry for about 1-1,5 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat.





Step 6 – Serve!



Get yourself a dipping sauce, preferably a mix of Asian inspired Sweet-Spicy Sauce and American Favorite Garlic Mayo. These tasted like HEAVEN!

You can even use this to top off a vegetarian sandwich. F yeah




Give this a try, you’ll love it

Cheers

    1. yep, tepungnya emang harus banyak, soalnya tekstur jamur nyerap cairan dengan mudah, sehingga tepungnya bisa langsung lengket! nyebelin sih, tapi enak bgt :)
