Fried Mushrooms with Zesty Chile Salt (1x44)

Air date: Jan 11, 2023

Deep-frying can be intimidating—as a method, it’s simple enough, but it’s a lot of hot oil to cool down and deal with afterward. For this fritto-misto-meets-tempura-ish fried mushroom recipe, I experimented with a shallow fry, which I was pretty sure wouldn’t turn out well. Shock and surprise: It worked. The batter crisps and the mushrooms cook through perfectly even though they’re not totally submerged.
