  • 5 large Paris mushrooms about 120-150 g
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • a pinch salt
  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper
  • ½ cup diced green bell pepper
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh red chili minced
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha or Sichuan chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon gochugaru or red chili flakes optional, for extra heat
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Deep frying pan or skillet

Method
 

  1. Wash and dry the mushrooms thoroughly, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, chili flakes, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in water until you achieve a smooth, thick batter.
  3. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, dip each mushroom piece into the batter, and fry until golden brown.
  4. In a wok or skillet, heat sesame oil and sauté ginger, garlic, and chili until fragrant; add bell peppers and cook until slightly softened.

Notes

For extra crispiness, consider double-frying the mushrooms: fry once, let cool, then fry briefly again.
Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of chili used.
Fresh herbs make a significant difference in both presentation and flavor; consider garnishing with lime wedges or sesame seeds.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
