step by step

Method

  1. Prepare the mushrooms

    • Tear the oyster mushrooms into wing-sized clusters, keeping the stems intact for a meaty texture.
    • Pat them dry so the batter adheres well.
    Step 1
  2. Make the wet batter

    • Whisk the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl.
    • Pour in the plant milk and whisk to a smooth, thick coating batter.
    Step 2
  3. Coat in the dry batter

    • Dip each mushroom cluster into the wet batter, letting the excess drip off.
    • Press it into the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
    Step 3
  4. Deep fry the wings

    • Heat the oil to 175 °C.
    • Fry the coated mushrooms in batches until deep golden and crispy.
    • Drain on a rack or paper towels.
    Step 4
  5. Make the Thai sweet chili lime sauce

    • Warm the sweet chili sauce in a saucepan with the soy sauce, maple syrup, minced garlic and chili flakes.
    • Take off the heat and stir in the lime juice and zest.
    Step 5
  6. Serve

    • Toss the crispy mushroom wings in the sauce or serve it on the side.
    • Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
