Golden Mushroom Crunch Sticks

📝 Ingredients:

• 300g king oyster mushrooms

• 2 eggs

• ½ pack crispy meat powder (or seasoned tempura/batter mix)

• A pinch of salt

• Oil for frying

🍽 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mushrooms
   Cut king oyster mushrooms into uniform strips. Lightly sprinkle with salt and let sit for 5–10 minutes.

2. Make the Batter
   In a bowl, combine 2 eggs, a pinch of salt, and ½ pack of crispy meat powder. Mix thoroughly until smooth and lump-free.

3. First Fry
   Dip the mushroom strips into the egg batter, then carefully place them into preheated oil. Fry over medium heat until lightly golden and crisp.

4. Double Fry for Extra Crunch
   Remove mushrooms and increase the heat. Fry them again briefly on high heat to achieve a deeper color and crispier texture.

5. Serve
   Sprinkle with chili powder (optional) and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
