How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose delicious enoki mushrooms
- You should choose mushrooms that are still fresh, not bruised, intact, and with roots that are not opened. If the mushroom bag does not show signs of leaking water, it is a good mushroom, and you can buy it.
- Avoid choosing mushrooms that have spots on the stems or are turning yellow, as these mushrooms are contaminated and may affect health.
- Pay attention to the expiration date when buying at supermarkets or stores with packaging, and absolutely do not use expired food.
How to choose delicious oyster mushrooms
- Mushrooms with a moderately sized stem are usually firmer, tougher, and sweeter than small-stemmed ones; also, avoid choosing mushrooms that are too large, as they may become wilted and lose their sweetness.
- Avoid purchasing bruised mushrooms with a rancid smell. If the cut oozes a milky substance, it is a sign of poisonous mushrooms; do not buy this type.
- Choose brown mushrooms, as they will be crunchier and sweeter when eaten.
How to choose delicious brown reishi mushrooms
- Brown reishi mushrooms should also be stored in a dry place for long-term use, so when selecting, you should observe the packaging to be dry and not too watery.
- Mushrooms that have just been harvested will have a white stem, and the cap will be light brown, which indicates they are the freshest; avoid buying mushrooms with yellowing stems!
- Although reishi mushrooms have a tough stem, you still need to check the entire mushroom to see if it is soft, cracked, or leaking water; if so, do not buy.
How to choose fresh passion fruit
- You should buy passion fruits with an outer skin that is dark purple or reddish-brown; the darker the color, the sweeter and more fragrant the fruit.
- Good passion fruits will have wrinkled skin, feel light in hand, and have a distinctive aroma when sniffed.
- Fruits with a smooth, shiny skin and feel heavy in hand are still unripe and sour; if you like to eat shrimp with passion fruit sauce that is sour, you can choose this type.
- Avoid buying passion fruits that are wrinkled on the outside but leaking juice or soft and mushy, as these are old and spoiled fruits.

Prepare the ingredients
Soak the mushrooms in water, wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt, and use a knife to cut off the stems, then let them drain.
Clean the shrimp by removing the shells, discarding the heads, and deveining them; you can leave the tail shells on for a more appealing presentation when cooking.
Tips for preparing and quickly deveining shrimp
- Count back from the tail of the shrimp to the second groove connecting the two segments of the shell, use a toothpick to pierce through and gently pull out the black vein.
- Use a toothpick to dig out the head of the shrimp, you will see the black vein; pull this black thread out with your fingers without the need for a knife.
- Then, rinse the shrimp with a little diluted saltwater, this method effectively removes the fishy smell of the shrimp.
-
Mix the batter
Take 2 tablespoons of the crispy batter mix out of the package and set aside.
Put the remaining mix in a bowl, add 100ml of water, and stir while mixing until the batter is smooth. Add in 1 egg white and mix well to finish the batter.
Tip: You should add water gradually to easily control the thickness of the batter, avoiding adding all the water at once which can make the batter too runny.
-
Make the dipping sauce
Add 1 tablespoon of passion fruit juice and 2 teaspoons of sugar into a bowl, stir well until the sugar dissolves.
Then add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Finally, just add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped basil leaves and mix well to complete the dipping sauce.
-
Fry the shrimp and mushrooms
Heat a pan with oil until hot.
Meanwhile, quickly roll each mushroom cap in a layer of the dry flour you set aside earlier, then dip it into the bowl of wet flour mixture, and drop it into the hot oil to fry on high heat.
Do the same until all the mushrooms and shrimp are fried.
Tip:
- You can use chopsticks to touch the bottom of the pan; if you see small bubbles rising, the oil is hot enough to fry the shrimp and mushrooms.
- When frying, keep the heat at medium-high, put all the ingredients in at once and fry until golden brown, then remove. Avoid continuously dropping into the oil as it will cause the temperature to fluctuate, making the final dish not as crispy as expected.
-
Completion
When the mushrooms are fried to a golden color, remove them all and place them on paper to absorb the oil for decoration to complete the dish.
-
Finished Product
Crispy fried mushrooms, when eaten, have a naturally sweet taste along with the pre-seasoned flour that is just right. When combined with the sweet and sour dipping sauce made from passion fruit, it is incredibly delicious. Let’s enjoy it right away!
