Tempura Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• For the charred scallion mayo: Combine the Donkey Sauce and scallions in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the fried oyster mushrooms: Heat 3 to 4 inches of oil in a Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. Carefully dredge the mushroom in flour ensuring it gets in between the stems. Shake off excess.
• Mix the flours together in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Add the eggs to the center and whisk to combine completely. Whisk in the seltzer water. Season with salt. Dip the mushrooms into the batter and then into the fryer. Fry, turning halfway through and holding under the oil, until golden, about 4 minutes. Remove to a wire rack.
• For the burgers: Brush the cut sides of the ciabatta with the garlic butter and toast until golden brown. Smear both sides with the charred scallion mayo. Combine the cabbages with the rice vinegar, olive oil, chiles, charred scallions, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and mix until tender. Place a fried mushroom on the base bun, top with half the dressed slaw, hit with juice of half the lemon and place the top half of bun on top. Repeat with the other burger.
• Combine the mayonnaise, roasted garlic puree, mustard, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before using.

Steps:

• Whisk light soy sauce, mirin, and dashi granules together in a bowl for the sauce; set aside.
• Whisk water and egg yolks together in a bowl until well combined. Sift in flour and whisk until just combined; batter will be a bit lumpy.
• Heat vegetable oil in a wok or a deep saucepan until very hot, but not smoking.
• Dip sweet potato, onion, bell pepper, green beans, and shiitake mushrooms one by one into the batter and transfer immediately into the hot oil. Deep-fry tempura in batches, making sure to not overcrowd the wok, until batter is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat until all vegetables have been used. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and chop the stalks finely. Mix with the marinade ingredients; pour this mixture over the mushroom caps and leave for 3-4 hours.
• Prepare the batter by beating together the egg white and flour, then adding the water gradually, still beating, until the batter has the consistency of heavy cream.
• Heat 1 inch oil in a deep skillet.
• Drain the mushrooms, dip them in batter and deep fry, about 6 at a time, for 2-3 minutes.
• Drain on paper towel and keep warm while cooking the remaining mushrooms.
• Serve immediately on a bed of shredded Chinese celery cabbage garnished with watercress.
