Description
Delightful, crunchy snack or appetizer made from enoki mushrooms, perfectly battered and fried until golden.
Ingredients
- 300g enoki mushrooms (one bunch)
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- ½ cup plain flour
- 1 cup ice cold water
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp furikake seasoning
- ⅓ cup Japanese mayonnaise
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- Grapeseed oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Combine the Japanese mayonnaise, toasted sesame oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and refrigerate.
- Trim the brown base from the enoki cluster and separate into bite-sized bunches.
- In a bowl, whisk together tapioca flour, plain flour, ice cold water, and salt until smooth.
- Pour oil into a deep skillet, heating it to 190°C / 375°F.
- Dip enoki in the batter and carefully lower into hot oil. Fry in small batches until golden, about 1–2 minutes.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain briefly. Serve with chilled sesame mayonnaise and a sprinkle of furikake.
Notes
Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and ensure crispiness. Keep batter cold for the best texture.
