Prepare the Straw Mushrooms

After purchasing, trim off the stems and any damaged parts of the straw mushrooms.

Soak the straw mushrooms in diluted salt water for about 30 minutes, then rinse them several times with water until clean and let them drain.

Mix the batter

You put 50g of rice flour in a bowl, add 50g of crispy frying flour, then slowly add water while stirring until the batter is thick and smooth, then add 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

While stirring, mash any clumps of batter. Do not make the batter too runny or too thick; otherwise, the fried mushrooms will not be good.

Dust the mushrooms and fry them

After mixing the batter, you put the straw mushrooms into the bowl of batter, so that the batter coats the mushrooms evenly.
