Ingredients
- 250 grams Button mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 pieces Green chili
- 2 stalks Spring onion greens
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
Directions
Step 1
Clean the button mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them in halves if they are large or leave them whole if they are small.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Toss in the mushrooms to coat them evenly with the dry mixture.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully fry the coated mushrooms in small batches until golden and crispy. Remove and place them on paper towels to drain the excess oil.
Step 4
Finely chop the garlic, green chilies, and spring onion greens.
Step 5
In a separate frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the leftover oil. Add the garlic and green chilies, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the crispy mushrooms to the pan. Toss them with soy sauce, the remaining black pepper, white pepper, and the remaining salt, ensuring everything is well coated.
Step 7
Garnish with spring onion greens and serve hot as a delicious appetizer.
