Ingredients
  

For the crispy mushrooms:

  • 200 to 300grams Oyster mushrooms
  • 4 Tablespoons Glutinous Rice Flour
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 teaspoons Gochugaru (Korean Chili Flakes)
  • 2 Tablespoons Chickpea Flour
  • 3 to 5 Tablespoons Water
  • Vegetable Oil for frying

For the leek and garlic “butter”:

  • 30 grams Margarine or Any non-dairy alternative
  • 1 tablespoon Leeks (finely sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic (minced)

Instructions
 

  • Trim the mushrooms into serving pieces and dredge them in glutinous rice flour. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine Glutinous rice flour, gochugaru, chickpea flour, salt, and water and mix until it turns into a smooth paste (similar to a thick soup).
  • Dip the mushrooms in the batter and fry them in oil over medium heat until crisp and golden brown. Drain excess oil on paper towels and arrange them on a serving plate.
  • Melt some butter in a small pan. Add in chopped garlic and sliced leeks and fry until the leeks are crispy.
  • Drizzle the butter mixture over the fried mushrooms and serve.
