🥦Vegan Soul Food gets even better with a bottle of Emmaline’s All-Natural Hot sauce.
Try this recipe for Fried Oyster Mushrooms.
Ingredients:
* Oat milk: Most fried chicken recipes have buttermilk, but you can use this or even soy milk, almond milk, or oat milk.
* Apple cider vinegar: Adding the vinegar to the milk will give you a texture similar to buttermilk.
* Hot sauce: Emmaline’s All-Natural Original Hot Sauce.
* Oyster mushrooms: Don’t use king oyster mushrooms. They are not the same here.
* Cornstarch: This is the secret ingredient that keeps the batter super crispy.
* All-purpose flour: We will need this to create our dredge. You can also substitute gluten-free flour.
* Spices: To kick up the flavors, we use a combination of cayenne pepper, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.* Oil: Use vegetable oil with a high smoke point. You can also use canola or peanut, or soybean. Don’t use olive oil for this recipe.
Step 1: Marinate the mushrooms
Start by whisking together the milk, vinegar, and hot sauce. Add the oyster mushrooms and let them soak in the mixture for a bit.
Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients
While the mushrooms marinate, add the flour ingredients to a large bowl. Heat the oil in a medium-sized pot.
Step 3: Make the batter
Once the mushrooms are done marinating, transfer them to a separate medium-sized bowl, reserving the leftover liquid. In the same bowl that contains the leftover marinade, add a cup of oat milk and Âľ cup of all-purpose flour to create the dredge batter.
Step 4: Fry the oyster mushrooms
Dredge the mushrooms into the seasoned flour mixture, then into the liquid batter, then back into the seasoned flour mixture. Set them aside for 10 minutes, then fry them in the hot oil.
Repeat the same steps for all of the mushrooms, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Rotate the pieces as necessary to brown them on each side.
Step 5: Let them cool.
Once the mushrooms are golden and hard to the touch, transfer them to a wire rack or a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess oil. Let them cool and serve.
