Ingredients
- 8-10 oz oyster mushrooms ((250g/just over ½lb))
- 4 tbsp lime juice ((60g))
- 2 cups almond milk ((475ml))
- 1½ cup tapioca starch ((180ml))
- 1½ cups almond milk ((355ml))
- ½ cup brown rice flour ((80g))
- 2½ tsp pink salt ((15g))
- 1 tsp dried thyme ((1g))
- 1 tsp dried basil ((1g))
- 2 tbsp paprika ((14g))
- ½ tsp oregano ((1g))
- 1½ tsp celery seed ((3g))
- 1 tbsp garlic granules ((8g))
- ½ tbsp black pepper ((3g))
- ½ tbsp mustard powder ((3.5g)(or use mustard seeds))
- 1½ tbsp white pepper ((10.5g))
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper ((1g)(optional))
Method
- Separate the oyster clusters into flat pieces and trim off the bulbous ends (you can use kitchen scissors or a chef's knife to do this) and set aside.
- Split the lime juice between the 2 large bowls of almond milk and whisk to make buttermilk.
- Add the oyster mushrooms to the bowl with 2 cups of buttermilk and leave to soak for 10 minutes.
- While the mushrooms are soaking prepare the other ingredients.
- Place the tapioca starch in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
- Add all of the herbs and spices listed to make the coating to a spice/coffee grinder (you may need to work in batches).
- Mix together the spice mix with the brown rice flour in a medium sized bowl.
- Set up your workstation/bowls in this order - oyster mushrooms in buttermilk, tapioca starch, dipping liquid, the coating and a resting plate.
- Carefully remove one of the oyster mushrooms from the buttermilk bowl (shaking off any excess milk).
- Place the mushroom into the bowl with the starch and use a spoon to roll/coat both sides.
- Dip the mushroom into the almond milk (again shaking off any excess liquid).
- Place the mushroom into the bowl with the coating mix and again use a spoon to apply the coating.
- Place the coated oyster mushroom on a plate and repeat the above steps with the remaining mushrooms.
- Preheat the air fryer.
- Spray cooking oil (I used olive oil) on a liner or the air fryer basket.
- Place the coated oyster mushrooms in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches).
- Lightly spray the tops with oil.
- Air fry @190C/374F for 10-12 minutes turning half way and re-spraying with oil.
- Serve immediately.
