I’m going to try this. I’m not vegan, but I love adding non-meat options into my life. This looks delicious.

Anybody that can make food look crunchy delicious and mouth-watering gets an automatic "no fridge judgement" pass card... dear lawd those look so mouth-wateringly good.

I absolutely love that you have a real kitchen. There's stuff in your kitchen but it's not dirty. I know that's random but it feels authentic

I wouldn't judge your fridge for the simple fact that you actually have food in it.

The process is long but I am going to try this as soon as I can get the ingredients. I am hooked!

My crunchy fried chicken cheat is potato chips. Grind them up in the food processor and mix them with the dry ingredients. They will stay crunchy no matter what.
I have to find a better place to get oyster mushrooms. The one place I can find them are almost always expired.

I tried this recipe and OMG it's so flavorful, the mushrooms tasted really good, and i didn't use soju because i don't like alcohol but i substituted with mirin and orange juice and it's amazing.
I just ate them plain😂 but the next time i will try with the sauce

I tdefinitely appreciate an expert at refrigerator Tetris.

Wow. This looks AMAZING. I have never seen oyster mushrooms being sold like that, I can only buy them in packages already separated. 😢 but I’d think I could still replicate the taste, if not the visual of this recipe…and so it’s on my “to try” list! Thank you for sharing!

I thought for sure it was seitan at the beginning when you showed the pull but maitake is SUCH a brilliant maneuver here! Does it come out a little juicy? I GOTTA try this one! So excited! Thank!

[bambi]

This looks amazing! I can’t wait to make this. My brother hates chicken because he doesn’t like the aftertaste of chicken. I bet you he’ll love this. 😄
And Soju for the batter?! 😳 Wow! I would have never thought of that! 👀
Thank you so much for this recipe! 🙏🏻

I’m definitely going to try the double fry method. That’s what I’ve been missing. I don’t have oyster mushrooms at the moment but I bet this would be awesome with frozen and thawed tofu too.

[senyagwynn]

This recipe looks so amazing!!! I can't wait to try and make this! Now to find oyster mushrooms! Tfs❤

You should try “chicken of the forest”!! It’s a type of mushroom with a very similar texture to chicken and is VERY GOOD

[vershawmartinez]

See, I knew I was supposed to follow you. And you love my favorite beer.🎉🎉🎉

Looks so yummy! I actually made some fried chicken like this, but no wet batter! It turned out good, but I will definitely try the wet batter next time! Made cuz my son was visiting and he and I enjoy vegan food…the boyfriend loved it too!

All my life I've tried different techniques for making good fried "chicken" and every time has been a huge fail. So I'm delighted to report that I followed this recipe and the texture was PERFECT. Crispy, crunchy. However, it had a weird note to me and I think it was probably the soju and that's my bad. I think soju is disgusting so why did I batter my food in it?? It left just a slight sour note. Still yummy but not quite a 10. But I'm definitely using this technique again but next time I'll use soda water and see how that goes. Thanks so much for helping me finally make great fried food!!

I drop everything as soon as I hear that Bell.. yummy thank you so much NYC One ❤ to you my G

[fairwearth]

Yum! I'm going to make this in my air fryer this weekend. 😋

[michellecastro]

That looks amazing. And I love mushrooms. I definitely need to try this one seeing I'm allergic to a lot of things. Ty
