Ingredients
- 8oz oyster mushrooms
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 cups neutral oil for frying
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 thinly sliced scallions
Instructions
1
Begin by gently tearing the oyster mushrooms into bite-sized strips, ensuring they remain substantial enough to provide a meaty texture.
2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
3
Toss the mushrooms in the dry mix until thoroughly coated, shaking off any excess.
4
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet until shimmering, then fry the mushrooms in batches until they achieve a deep, golden-brown crunch.
5
While they drain on a wire rack, whisk the miso, maple syrup, soy sauce, and vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat until it reduces into a glossy, thick glaze.
6
Toss the fried mushrooms immediately in the glaze, garnish generously with sesame seeds and scallions, and serve hot over steamed jasmine rice for a transformative plant-based experience.
