Steps:
- Grab your cast iron or FryDaddy Electric Deep Fryer (or whatever type of deep fryer you are using) and pour in oil. (DO NOT PLUG UP YET)
- Take your oyster mushrooms out the package and place in a colander. Pull apart to desired size and rinse well.

NOTE: Using a Ziploc bag simply close the bag and shake vigorous until all mushroom are fully coated in dry batter. DO NOT GO BACK IN FORTH BETWEEN THE WET AND DRY BATTER TO PREVENT OVER BREADING IT WILL NOT TASTE WELL!
- Plug up your Fry Daddy Electric Deep Fryer and allow oil to get hot. (Or if using a cast iron heat oil in your iron until hot). Carefully place mushrooms in oil allowing mushrooms to fry for about 2 to 3 minutes until evenly browned. With your fry basket remove done mushrooms from oil and place on plate cover with a paper towel. Sprinkle with additional sea salt and dried parsley (opt) NOTE: Make sure your oil is hot and DO NOT overcrowd your mushrooms in the deep fryer or cast iron. If you need, divide mushrooms in half to cook a handful at a time.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, on top of a salad, or along with your favorite sides for dinner!

SIMPLE STIR-FRIED OYSTER MUSHROOMS
I made this up earlier when I really wanted oyster mushrooms. I don't like to cook them with too many strong flavors, since their own flavor is so delicate. I just had this over rice noodles for a snack, but you could serve it as a side dish, too, or add other veggies and protein of choice to make it a main dish. Prep/cooking time and all quantities are educated guesstimates. For vegetarians, try my mock fish sauce recipe#465234, it's what I use and it's tasty :)

Steps:
- Stir together the fish sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- Put the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the lemongrass and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds (it will smell heavenly). Add the mushrooms and stir-fry until slightly softened, 3 or 4 minutes. You want them still moist and not browned.
- Add the sauce and stir-fry until absorbed, 30 seconds or so. Garnish with the scallion and sesame seeds and serve.

Tips:
- Choose fresh oyster mushrooms that are firm and plump, with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Clean the oyster mushrooms thoroughly by wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing them briefly under cold water. Pat them dry before cooking.
- To make the batter, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the beer until you have a smooth batter, about the consistency of heavy cream.
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, dip the oyster mushrooms into the batter and carefully place them in the hot oil.
- Fry the oyster mushrooms for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Drain the mushrooms on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the fried oyster mushrooms immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
