Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Total time: 60 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
300 g Mushrooms
140 g Plant based milk
100 g Water
120 g Plain flour
1 tbsp Garlic powder
60 g Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Paprika
400 ml Vegetable oil
50 g Hot sauce
2 tbsp Golden syrup
20 g Vegan butter
Salt & pepper
vegan creme fraiche (for serving)
1 tsp Sesame seeds
Recipe:
- Cut the largest mushrooms in half. Keep the smaller ones whole. In a bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, water, flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add the mushrooms into the batter, mix well to coat, and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Mix together the breadcrumbs, and paprika in a bowl. Dip the marinated mushrooms to coat them.
- Heat up the vegetable oil in a saucepan. When hot, add a few breaded mushrooms to the oil. Fry mushrooms in batches for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. You might need to cook them a bit longer if you have bigger mushrooms.
- Use a slotted spoon to take the fried mushrooms out of the pan, then lay them on a wire rack over a baking tray to drain any excess oil.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180 fan/gas mark 6. To make the buffalo sauce, add the hot sauce, golden syrup and vegan butter to a small frying pan. Stir until well-combined.
- Transfer the fried mushrooms to a bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over. Gently toss to coat.
- Put the sauce-coated mushrooms on a baking tray, leaving space between each. Roast for 10 minutes.
- Serve them right away with vegan creme fraîche and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
How to store
