How to Make Crispy Fried Mushroom Recipe

We devised a great option for vegetarians and those who eat mainly vegetables. Whether we are vegetarian or not, mushrooms are one of the most preferred meal vegetables.

So why? Because they are delicious and filling, they greatly support metabolism and the digestive system and successfully fight infection.

We use mushrooms quite often in sautees or stews. These are some of the most delicious, satisfying, and classic recipes. But let’s do something unusual with them today.

Let’s take them and make crispy, nugget-like tiny bites out of them. After cleaning them well, we will dip them in eggs and several types of flour and deep-fry them.

But don’t let the word “deep-fried” intimidate you. We’ll give you great tips to ensure it never absorbs oil.

Now, go to the step-by-step recipe below and make them as a snack or as a main meal for any meal you want. Be sure to try it.

This Is Why You Shouldn’t Wash Mushrooms

Crispy Fried Mushroom Recipe – How to Clean Mushrooms

This information will be useful in the crispy fried or any other mushroom recipe. Here’s an awesome tip on how to clean mushrooms.

Let me say this unequivocally: You should never wash mushrooms. We may prefer the washing method for many dirty vegetables, but this is not the case with mushrooms.

So why? They are like sponges! If you let them come into contact with water, they will absorb and trap the dirt on them. In this case, what cleaning method should you use for dirty mushrooms?

In fact, the process starts the moment you buy them. When buying mushrooms, take care to buy the cleanest ones. Then peel the thin membrane on them with a knife. All the dirt will probably have accumulated there anyway.

As another method, if you are still not comfortable with cleaning, wipe them thoroughly with a damp cloth and peel the thin membrane on them with a knife.
