Ingredients

  • 400g large oyster mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup neutral frying oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 thinly sliced scallions

Instructions

1
Begin by gently tearing the oyster mushrooms into thick, bite-sized strips, ensuring you keep the fibrous, meaty texture intact.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso, maple syrup, soy sauce, and sesame oil until a smooth, glossy glaze forms.
3
In a separate shallow dish, combine the cornstarch with the smoked paprika and a pinch of black pepper.
4
Dredge each mushroom strip lightly into the cornstarch, shaking off the excess to ensure a thin, crispy coating.
5
Heat the neutral oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
6
Once shimmering, add the mushrooms in a single layer, frying for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply golden and shatteringly crisp.
7
Reduce the heat to low, pour the miso-maple glaze directly into the pan, and toss quickly for 30 seconds until the mushrooms are lacquered and sticky.
8
Remove from heat immediately, garnish generously with toasted sesame seeds and fresh scallions, and serve piping hot.
