🍳 Method

1. Prepare the enoki mushrooms

• Cut off the root end of the enoki cluster.

• Separate the mushrooms into thin, flat bundles.

• Slice each bundle in half if needed for easier handling.

• Wrap a strip of nori around each bundle, moistening the edge with a little water to help it stick.

2. Make the batter

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, white pepper, garlic powder, and ground chili.

• Pour in the cold sparkling water and whisk until the mixture becomes a smooth, pourable batter.

• The consistency should resemble pancake batter — if it’s too thick, add a splash of water; if too thin, add a little extra flour.

3. Fry until golden

• Heat oil to around 170–180°C (340–355°F).

• Dip each enoki-nori bundle into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

• Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.

• Cook until the mushrooms turn golden and crispy.

• Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel–lined plate to drain excess oil.

4. Serve hot

• Enjoy immediately while the mushrooms are hot and ultra-crispy.

• Serve with your favourite dipping sauce — spicy mayo, sweet chili, or soy-garlic sauce all work perfectly.
