Brilio.net - Oyster mushrooms are often cooked as a side dish. Apart from being processed into a side dish, oyster mushrooms can also be cooked into a snack, you know. One of the popular oyster mushroom snacks is fried and cooked into crispy mushrooms.

The crunchy and crispy texture of oyster mushrooms becomes even more delicious when eaten with various spices. For example, use barbecue seasoning, cheese, or others.

How to make your own crispy mushrooms is actually quite easy. You only need to coat the oyster mushrooms in flour, then fry them until they are crispy and have a crispy texture.

However, even though it is relatively easy, apparently many people still fail to make crispy mushrooms because the texture becomes soft when they cool.

So, to keep the crispy mushrooms crunchy, quite a few people add baking soda to the flour mixture. Because baking soda is believed to improve the crunchy texture of crispy mushrooms.

However, if you don't have baking soda in stock, you can still make crispy mushrooms that last a long time, you know. A netizen via the Kitchen Washifa YouTube channel once shared a trick for frying oyster mushrooms to make them even crispier .

The YouTube user also squeezed the mushrooms gently to reduce the water content. Then he seasoned the oyster mushrooms with a packet of stock powder dissolved in enough water, then let it sit for 5 minutes.

"Stir it around so that the spices are absorbed and let it sit for 5 minutes," he said, as reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Dapur Washifa on Thursday (15/2).

To make dry flour mixture, use 500 grams of wheat flour, 1 packet of seasoned flour, 1 packet of garlic powder, salt, stock powder, and 1/4 tablespoon ground pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.

Drain the soaked oyster mushrooms, then add them to the dry flour mixture. Stir the oyster mushrooms so that the entire surface is covered with the flour mixture. After being coated with the dry flour mixture, the mushrooms are strained so that not much flour sticks to them.

"Stir slowly and for a long time to get good results. After that, move the mushrooms and strain them so that not a lot of flour sticks," he continued.

When frying, don't forget to turn the mushrooms so that both sides are cooked perfectly. Once the color is brown, remove the crispy mushrooms and drain.

"And this is the result that has been fried. The result is very crispy. The way you control the fire also influences the crispiness of the crispy mushrooms. If fried properly, the crispiness can last for hours," he concluded.
