Ingredients:
– 1 pound oyster mushrooms
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup buttermilk
– Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
1. Begin by preparing the oyster mushrooms. Clean them by gently wiping the caps with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim off the tough ends of the stems and discard.
2. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are all relatively similar in size for even frying.
3. In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
4. Pour the buttermilk into another dish, creating a dredging station next to the seasoned flour mixture.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the mushrooms fully while frying.
6. As the oil heats up, start the breading process. Dip each mushroom piece into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off before coating it in the seasoned flour mixture. Ensure each piece is well coated.
7. Once all the mushrooms are breaded, carefully place them in the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
8. As the mushrooms finish frying, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
9. Continue this process until all the mushrooms are fried, replenishing the oil as needed and ensuring it stays at the proper temperature for frying.
10. Once all the mushrooms are cooked, serve them hot and crispy with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is.
These fried oyster mushrooms are best enjoyed fresh and hot. Their crispy exterior paired with the tender, flavorful mushroom inside is truly a delightful combination.
