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.
