Fantastic Garlic Fried Mushrooms

Ingredients

• 400 g Button Mushrooms (cleaned, stems trimmed, sliced thickly)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced fine)
• 3 Tbsp Vegetable Oil (high smoke‑point oil such as canola or sunflower)
• 2 Tbsp Cornflour (for light coating, gives crispness)
• 1 tsp Red Chili Powder (adjust to taste)
• ½ tsp Salt (or to taste)

Instructions

1. Prepare the mushrooms

   Wipe each mushroom with a damp paper towel, trim the stems, and slice them about ½‑inch thick so they stay juicy inside but crisp outside.

   Time: PT5M

2. Season and coat

   In a mixing bowl combine the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, salt, red chili powder, and cornflour. Toss gently until every piece is lightly coated.

   Time: PT5M

3. Heat the oil

   Place the frying pan over medium‑high heat, add the vegetable oil, and let it heat until it shimmers (about 30 seconds).

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: medium‑high heat

4. Fry the mushrooms

   Add the coated mushrooms in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3‑4 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and fry another 2‑3 minutes until crisp and cooked through.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: medium‑high heat

5. Drain and serve

   Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mushrooms onto paper towels to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle a pinch of extra salt if needed and serve hot.

   Time: PT3M
