CRISPY ENOKI MUSHROOMS WITH SPICY MAYO
400 g Enoki mushrooms
150 g tempura flour
200 ml water [ice cold]
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
vegetable oil
3 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise
2-3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
_ cut off bottom parts of Enoki mushrooms and clean from any dirt
_ separate into smaller bunches
_ combine tempura flour, water, paprika powder and garlic powder
_ whisk until batter is lump-free
_ heat vegetable oil in a pan [temperature is right if a wooden chopstick forms little bubbles when dipped in the oil]
_ dip small bunches of mushroom into the batter and let excess batter drip off
[batter should be thick enough to stick but only in a thin layer - add more water if necessary]
_ fry mushrooms in hot oil until golden [if you work with a thinner layer of oil then turn them once half way through]
_ place on a paper towel to soak up excess oil
_ mix together mayonnaise and sriracha sauce [ratio depends on how spicy you like it]
