FAQ'S FOR THIS FRIED OYSTER MUSHROOMS SANDWICH RECIPE
1. Can I use a different type of mushroom for this recipe?
Yes! While oyster mushrooms work best for their meaty texture, you can also use king oyster mushrooms or even maitake mushrooms for a similar crispy bite.
2. What’s the best oil for frying?
Canola oil, vegetable oil, or peanut oil are great options because they have a high smoke point and neutral flavor. Avoid olive oil, as it burns too quickly.
3. Can I bake or air fry the mushrooms instead of frying?
Yes! To bake, place the battered mushrooms on a lined baking sheet and spray with cooking oil. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. For air frying, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
4. How do I store and reheat leftovers?
Store leftover fried mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes or air fry for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
