Ingredients

20 oyster mushrooms
1 1/4 cup rice flour
1 cup cold club soda
1 egg yolk
1 quart vegetable oil, for frying

Matcha salt:
1 tbsp kosher salt

Method

Pour oil into a wide pot until it reaches a depth of 1 inch. Heat to 375°F.

In a medium bowl, whisk rice flour and egg yolk together. Continue whisking while pouring in club soda until completely mixed.
