Ayeh Manfre (pictured) has revealed how to make delicious Korean fried chicken at home, but with an unlikely ingredient – oyster mushrooms
She then mixed the spices and flour together before taking some of the dry mixture into a separate bowl and adding water.
She mixed water and flour together, then dipped oyster mushrooms into the wet batter and into the dry batter.
“I used oyster mushrooms, which have such a similar texture and look totally like chicken,” Ayeh wrote.
Ayeh double-coated the mushrooms in her spice batter, then dipped them in oil for a golden, crunchy texture, just like fried chicken
She repeated the wet-to-dry batter process one more time to double-coat the mushrooms, then deep-fried them in hot oil until golden.
Once the “fried chicken” was golden, Ayeh placed it in a bowl and tossed it generously in Heinz’s new Korean street food sauce.
Her recipe video garnered instant attention and more than 42,000 foodie views in just 22 hours.
