King Oyster Mushrooms Calamari Style

2022-08-10

Jump To Recipe Print Recipe

This recipe joins its ultimate partner, Fried Oyster Mushrooms in Shrimp Style – This mix makes a perfect match.

It took me quite some time with this recipe; The problem was that the breadcrumbs coating separated from the mushroom during frying 🥵

In the end, the trial and error bore fruit: I first realized that the mushroom rings needed to be soaked in water so that the coating would not separate from them.

I also discovered that the breadcrumbs must be the traditional version in three steps: flour mixture, batter, and breadcrumbs mixture. It also turned out that to get the best results, don’t deep fry.

Only then did I reach my destination: crispy “squid” rings, with a perfect sea taste!

Serve with Fried Oyster Mushrooms In Shrimp Style. Accompany the dish with a lemon wedge, aioli dip, mayonnaise mixed with Sriracha sauce, or any of your favorite dips.

Enjoy and let me know how it turned out 😋 ❣️

King Oyster Mushrooms Calamari Style
King Oyster rings with a crispy coating enriched with Kelp Powder and fried until golden. The texture of these noble mushrooms is very similar to that of seafood; Even carnivores will have a hard time distinguishing that this is a vegan dish. Serve as an appetizer or a snack, accompanied with a lemon wedge, your favorite dips, and beer.😋

Ingredients
 
 
  • 200 gram King Oyster Mushrooms
  • water to soak the mushrooms
  • oil for frying
Flour Mixture
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ tsp kelp powder or crumbled nori sheet
Batter
  • 3 Tablespoon chickpea flour
  • ½ cup water to add gradually
  • 1½ tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon almond butter
  • ¼ tsp chili powder
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt by taste
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1½ Tablespoon kelp powder or two nori sheets, crumbled
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
Breadcrumbs Coating
  • ⅔ cup breadcrumbs, or girissini breadsticks
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ Tablespoon kelp powder or one nori sheet, crumbled
  • pinch ground black pepper
  • ⅛-¼ tsp chili powder
  • pinch salt
For Serving
  • lemon wedge, aioli dip, mayo mixed with sriracha, beer
Instructions
 
  • Prepare the mushrooms: cut off the heads of the mushrooms and keep them for other recipes.
  • Cut into slices about half a cm thick (0.2-Inch)
  • Use cookie cutters to form rings from the slices. Then, using a smaller cookie cutter, form smaller rings from the removed parts; See Image.
    Save the parts which are too small to form rings – for other recipes; See notes.
  • Transfer the mushroom rings to a bowl and cover with water.
Flour Mixture
  • Put flour, cornstarch, and kelp powder in a bowl and mix well.
Batter
  • Mix chickpea flour, water, and vinegar well in a separate bowl add almond butter, and mix.
  • Add all the other ingredients and mix well. If the mixture is thicker than the texture of a beaten egg, add water gradually, a little at a time.
Breadcrumbs Coating
  • Mix well in a bowl the breadcrumbs with kelp powder and the rest of the spices, and Transfer to a flat plate.
Mushrooms
  • Take the mushrooms out of the water, shake a little, dip in the flour coating, shake off excess; Dip in the batter and shake off excess, roll in the breadcrumbs coating and place on a flat plate. **See note
  • Heat canola or sunflower oil in a medium skillet; the oil should reach about half the height of the mushrooms (don't deep fry!)
  • Transfer 5-6 units to the hot oil and fry on both sides until nicely golden (about two minutes on each side). Remove carefully with tongs, and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the rest of the mushrooms.
For Serving
  • Serve with a lemon wedge, aioli dip, mayonnaise mixed with sriracha sauce, and cold beer.
    Serving suggestion: serve with Fried Oyster Mushrooms Shrimp Style as a "shrimp-squid" mix.
Notes
Tip: to dip the mushrooms in the batter: “Wear” it on the tip of your finger like a ring. This way, the batter will stick to the mushroom and not your fingers.
From the rest of the mushrooms (heads and small parts that you can’t use for rings), you can make Paprikash Krumpli – Hungarian-style potatoes and mushrooms.
