Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Fried Enoki Mushrooms
- Begin by trimming the dirt end off the enoki mushrooms, ensuring they are clean and fresh. Carefully slice them into 1/4 inch thin layers.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, pour in 2-3 inches of neutral oil and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, potato starch, baking powder, salt, white pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and five-spice powder until fully combined. Gradually add cold sparkling water to achieve a smooth batter.
- Take individual bunches of sliced enoki mushrooms and dip them into the batter, allowing excess to drip off before frying.
- Add the battered mushrooms to the hot oil in batches, frying for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Use a spider strainer to remove and place on a wire rack.
- Once cooled slightly, season with salt and sprinkle with furikake. Serve immediately with dipping sauces.

Notes
Store leftover fried enoki mushrooms in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in an air fryer or oven for optimal crispiness.
