Cooking Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

  • Panko crumbed mushrooms

  • 200g fresh assorted Asian mushrooms
  • 60g (½ cup) cake flour
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 150g (1 cup) panko breadcrumbs

Heat the oil in a deep fryer and fry the mushrooms until golden and crispy, about 1 – 2 minutes per side.

Drain on a paper towel and season with a little salt.
