Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- Enoki mushrooms
- 1 cup potato starch (or any other starch like tapioca, rice, etc.)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2/3 cup ice cold water
Instructions
- 1
Start by slicing off the bottom part of the enoki mushrooms (about 1" above the base) then placing it in a bowl filled with water to rinse off any debris and leftover dirt.
- 2
Separate the enoki mushrooms into smaller bunches and set aside.
- 3
Prepare your batter by whisking all the ingredients together until smooth (the starch does have a tendency to settle after a couple minutes, so ensure you're mixing the batter thoroughly before coating the mushrooms in between batches!)
- 4
To fry, dip the mushrooms in the batter and let all the excess batter drip off completely before frying until golden brown.
- 5
Let cool on a wire rack and serve!
