Fried Mushrooms with Sweet Chili Sauce
Golden, crispy fried mushrooms paired with a sweet chili dip—an easy, crowd-pleasing snack or appetizer bursting with flavor.
Ingredients
- 200g button mushrooms, cleaned and halved
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup cold water (adjust as needed)
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Gradually add cold water while whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Coat the Mushrooms: Pat the mushrooms dry, then dip them into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Fry the Mushrooms: Carefully place the battered mushrooms in the hot oil in small batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Arrange the fried mushrooms on a platter. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with rice flour.
- Serve immediately for the best crispiness.
- Add a touch of lime juice to the sweet chili sauce for a zesty twist.
