¾ cup (213 mL) of light beer or sparkling water (cold)
¾ cup (213 mL) rice flour
1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder
Oil for frying (canola or vegetable)
2 cups (500 mL) oyster mushrooms, torn in pieces
Whisk beer (or sparkling water) in a bowl with the rice flour until smooth. Add salt and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Heat oil to 375F/190C. Dredge mushrooms in batter, coating completely, and letting any excess drip off. Deep-fry, turning once, until golden (about 3 minutes).
Transfer to paper towel. Season with seasoning salt.
Serve with soy sauce or your favourite aioli.
