Vegan Fried Chicken (hint, it uses Oyster Mushrooms)
Yes, this is plant-based 'fried chicken' using Oyster Mushrooms. Perfect for lunch, entrée, or party finger food. And so ‘moorish’ you’ll most likely make a double batch the second time around!
Ingredients
- 300g oyster mushrooms
- vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup soya milk
- 1/2 lemon, juice only
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2.5 tbsp. peri-peri seasoning
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Combine the soya milk and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl. Add individual whole mushrooms to the wet mixture and stir until they’re fully coated.
- Combine the dry ingredients, including salt and pepper, in a separate mixing bowl.
- Add the vegetable oil to a saucepan on medium heat. The oil should be at least 5cm (2”) deep in the pan. If you have a thermometer, the oil should be approximately 180°C / 356°F.
- When the oil is hot enough, dip one mushroom into the dry ingredients and toss to coat. Then carefully drop the mushroom into the hot oil and fry for 2-4 minutes or until golden brown. Then remove using a slotted spoon and place it on paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Repeat for the remaining mushrooms.
- Sprinkle extra salt on top to serve. Enjoy!
