Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g button mushrooms cleaned and patted dry
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying
For the Sriracha Mayo:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean and pat the mushrooms dry. Keep them whole or slice larger ones in half.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fry the Mushrooms: Fry the coated mushrooms in batches for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
