The weather is getting cooler here in southern California and I have been craving for some savory comfort food like the fried mushrooms that I’ve tried in Taipei. Something hot, crispy and tasty with a kick of spice! Preferably healthy too so it won’t make me feel bad afterwards like the way French fries do. Theses delicious fried king oyster mushrooms are the first thing that comes to mind. They are delicious with rice or even on their own!
King oyster mushroom (pleurotus eryngii) grows in clusters developing a trumpet-like shape with a blunt cap above and a stout stem beneath that is crunchy and firm. It’s an edible mushroom with a wonderful aroma and unique umami flavor.
King oyster mushrooms are also referred to as medicinal mushrooms for their many health benefits. They are also known for being an excellent energy and immune booster as well as aiding in lowering cholesterol in the body. What’s best is that they stay fresh and firm in the refrigerator for a longer time compared to other mushrooms. So, I always have some handy to add to whatever I cook that week.
