Crispy golden mushrooms paired with creamy Sriracha mayo, the perfect appetizer or snack for spice and flavor lovers.
Ingredients
- 250 g button mushrooms cleaned and patted dry
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Sriracha Mayo:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean and pat the mushrooms dry. Keep them whole or slice larger ones in half.
- Set Up Coating Stations: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and mix panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a third.
- Coat the Mushrooms: Dip each mushroom into the flour, shaking off excess. Next, dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Mushrooms: Fry the coated mushrooms in batches for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Prepare the Sriracha Mayo: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust Sriracha to taste for more or less spice.
- Serve: Serve the golden mushrooms warm with the Sriracha mayo on the side for dipping.
Notes
- These mushrooms are best served fresh but can be reheated in an oven for a few minutes to restore crispness.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour.
