Tempura Mushrooms

blogger templates


I just told myself to cut down on fried stuff last week and it's only the 1 day of the week. Here I am with another fried dish. I'm just plain lazy to come up with some ideas to cook the mushrooms I have in my fridge. I could have dump it in my other dish I cooked today but then I would have to think of another dish to cook. Lazy right? It's like this on Mondays lah.



Ingredients:


  • 4 Shitake Mushroom, sliced

  • 5 White Button Mushroom, sliced

  • 1/2 pack Shimeiji Mushroom, ends removed

  • Batter for frying

  • Oil for frying




How to do it:


  1. Coat mushrooms with batter before deep frying them in hot oil.

  2. Remove and put on paper towel to drain away extra oil.

  3. Serve with dipping sauce, tomato or chili sauce.






Additional Add-on
Ingredients for Tempura Batter:


  • 3 tablespoon Plain Flour

  • 6 tablespoon Ice Cold Water

  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (if using on food that is not seasoned or marinated)

  • 1 Egg

  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda (optional - this is to make it crispier)




How to do it:


  1. Beat egg.

  2. Add water into egg.

  3. Gradually add flour and mix till smooth.


Note:
If you prefer a thicker batter, add 1 more tablespoon of flour. Most of the time, I don't add egg and it works fine too!
