Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces/225g of King Oyster Mushrooms
  • ½ cup/125ml Of Dairy Free Milk
  • ½ cup/65g Of Plain All Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup/110g Of Panko Breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Of Crushed Vegan Seaweed
  • Sesame Seed Oil For Frying

Instructions
 

  • Remove the stalks of the mushrooms by cutting them with a knife. Then slice the musrooms in discs.
  • Try to slice the musrooms in a S shape (which resembles the shrimp)
  • Add dairy-free milk and the flour to a mixing bowl and mix together.
  • In a separate bowl add the breadcrumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, seaweed salt and ground black pepper and mix together.
  • Dip the mushroom slices in batches into the batter, making sure they are well coated.
  • Then transfer it to the breadcrumbs and roll the mushroom slices in the breadcrumbs making sure they are well coated on all sides.
  • Transfer them to the baking sheet or a plate and then continue with the rest of the mushroom slices until they are all battered and coated in breadcrumbs.
  • Add just enough sesame oil to your frying pan so that the bottom is well coated and heat on medium high heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, add only as much vegan coated mushrooms as will comfortably fit, making sure the pan isn't too crowded, there should be space between each piece.
  • Fry for around 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Repeat with the next batch.
  • You can use a kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Store the leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge, and consume them within 3 days.
Best to reheat them in the oven, so they crisp back up a bit.
