Main Ingredients- 3 King Oyster Mushrooms (large)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Tbsp All-purpose flour (generous)
- 3 Pinches of salt (for egg wash)
- Cooking oil, as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently wipe any dirt or debris from the caps of the king oyster mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Trim off the very bottom end if it looks dirty. Slice each mushroom into 5 equal pieces. Avoid slicing them too thinly, as this will reduce their chewy texture.
Step 2
In a bowl, crack the 2 eggs and add 3 pinches of salt. Whisk the eggs gently until well combined. This mixture will be used to coat the mushrooms.
Step 3
Prepare a clean resealable plastic bag. Add the prepared king oyster mushroom slices to the bag. Then, add 1 heaping tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Seal the bag tightly and gently shake it. This ensures the flour evenly coats each mushroom slice without clumping, creating a perfect base for frying.
Step 4
Now, dip the flour-coated mushroom slices into the whisked egg mixture. Gently toss them to ensure they are evenly coated with the egg wash on all sides. A good egg coating will help the pancakes achieve a beautiful golden color and a crispy texture.
Step 5
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is preheated, carefully place the egg-coated mushroom slices into the pan, ensuring they don’t touch each other. Leaving space between them will help them cook evenly and prevent sticking.
Step 6
Once the bottom side is golden brown and crispy, carefully flip each mushroom slice with a spatula. Cook the other side until it also turns a beautiful golden brown.
Step 7
As the mushrooms cook, they might shrink slightly. If this happens, gently press down on them with your spatula. This will help them flatten out again and ensure they cook through evenly. Don’t worry, they’ll become delightfully chewy and tender inside.
Step 8
If you have any leftover egg wash, you can pour it directly into the pan after removing the mushrooms and make scrambled eggs to enjoy alongside. It’s a delicious bonus!
Step 9
Once cooked, place the King Oyster Mushroom Pancakes on a paper towel-lined plate for a moment to absorb any excess oil. Serve them warm to best enjoy their chewy and savory goodness. Enjoy your meal! 🙂
