Ingredients

  • 500g large oyster mushrooms
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup white miso paste
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup sparkling water
  • 2 cups neutral frying oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 thinly sliced scallions

Instructions

1
First, gently tear the oyster mushrooms into large, chicken-wing-sized clusters and pat them thoroughly dry to ensure maximum crunch.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
3
Gradually pour in the sparkling water while whisking to create a light, bubbly batter.
4
In a separate small bowl, whisk the miso, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and soy sauce until smooth to form the umami glaze.
5
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or wok to 350°F (175°C).
6
Dip the mushroom clusters into the batter, letting excess drip off, then carefully drop them into the hot oil in small batches.
7
Fry for 4-5 minutes, flipping once, until they reach a deep golden brown and appear shatteringly crisp.
8
Remove to a wire rack.
9
Finally, brush the fried clusters generously with the prepared miso-maple glaze and garnish with fresh scallions and sesame seeds for a professional, restaurant-quality finish.
