INGREDIENTS
1 lb fresh large button mushrooms, cleaned and cut into ¼-inch strips
3-4 cups vegetable oil for frying
1 cup flour for dusting mushrooms
Wet Batter
1 cup flour
½ cup cornstarch
¾ tsp baking powder
1¼ cups unsweetened cashew milk
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
Breading
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp powdered mushrooms (grind dried mushrooms of your liking in a spice blender)
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
Sriracha Aioli Dip
¾ cup vegan mayonnaise
3 tbsp sriracha sauce
1 tbsp paprika
METHOD
Make the dip by combining mayonnaise, sriracha sauce and paprika in a small bowl. Place in fridge until ready to serve. Heat oil in a shallow cast iron pan. Prepare the wet batter by mixing together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic salt, onion powder, paprika and cashew milk in a large bowl. In another bowl, prepare the breading by mixing together breadcrumbs, powdered mushrooms, garlic salt, pepper, onion powder and chopped parsley. Toss the mushrooms in 1 cup of flour. Shake off excess. Coat each mushroom in the wet batter, and then toss in the breading mixture. Carefully drop mushrooms in hot oil, frying for 2 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Flip as needed. Remove mushrooms from oil and place on a plate covered with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and additional parsley. Best to fry in small batches. Serve warm with sriracha aioli dip and a lemon wedge.
