Deep-fried Spicy, Crispy Enoki Mushrooms

Ingredients:

150g white enoki mushrooms

Flour mixture
75g rice flour
40g glutinous rice flour
20g cornflour
1 tsp double-action baking powder
¼ tsp pepper
¼ salt
¼ tsp chilli powder
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Steps:

Trim the ends of enoki mushrooms and separate them into individual strands. Rinse briefly, then spread out the strands on several layers of paper towel. Pat dry & leave aside to air dry for a while.

Combine flour mixture in a plastic bag. Add the enoki mushrooms in batches. Tie up the plastic bag and shake briefly until the mushrooms are well coated with the flour mixture. Remove onto a tray and leave aside. Coat them with flour mixture again.

Heat wok with enough oil. When oil is hot, put in the mushrooms. Deep-fry until crispy. Remove with a wire sieve and drain.

Reheat the oil and deep-fry the mushrooms again until golden and crispy. Dish out and spread onto several layers of paper towel. Serve immediately as a snack.
