  • 1 bowl
  • Kitchen paper

Ingredients

Marinade

  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Liquid smoke
  • 2 tbsp Nutritional yeast

  • 0.5 tbsp Smoked parpika powder

Mushrooms

  • 100 Gram Fresh black witch's butter

Instructions

  • Wash the mushrooms well and slice them into thin strips.
  • Put the mushrooms in a food dehydrator or oven at the lowest temperature and dry over night (around 12h).
  • Mix all the ingredients of the marinade in a sauce pan, add the mushrooms and a bit of water such that the mushrooms are covered.
  • Bring to a boil and gently boil until almost all the liquid has evaporated.
  • Add corn starch to a bowl and take the mushrooms out of the remaining liquid and add them to the bowl.
  • Toss the mushrooms around until they are completely covered with starch.
  • Add a couple of table spoons of oil to a frying pan. Heat the oil and fry the mushrooms for a couple of minutes until they are golden / dark brown on all sides.
  • Take them out of the pan and put on a kitchen paper. After a couple of minutes they will become quite crispy.

Notes

Alternatively wood ear (Auricularia auricula-judae) mushrooms can be used as they have similar properties.
