Fried Oyster Mushrooms
  1. Combine ingredients for Cajun Mayo or Remoulade and set aside in fridge.

  2. Prepare your dredging station. Combine the plant milk, hot sauce, pickle brine and apple cider vinegar in one bowl, let it sit for 5-10 minutes to form the buttermilk. Make sure it's thick enough to stick to the chick'n, if not, add more vinegar. Combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and cajun seasoning in another bowl.

  3. Heat up oil to 375° F either in an electric deep fryer, or a dutch oven with a deep fry thermometer.

  4. If you want to tear up your mushrooms into smaller pieces while the oil heats up, this is a good time to do so!

  5. Once oil is up to 375° F, dredge your mushrooms first in the wet mixture, then dry, and then repeat to double dredge, shaking off any excess flour and batter. Place carefully in oil and let it fry until golden brown. Let it rest on a wire rack. Repeat until all your chick'n is fried.

  6. You can keep the fried mushrooms warm in an oven set to your lowest setting (mine went down to 170° F) or serve immediately (let them cool a bit though, you don't wanna burn your mouth off!)

  7. Serve up however you like, make a Po' Boy, a Popeyes Chick'n Sandwich, Nuggets, whatever you want!

  8. Prepare your dredging station. Combine the plant milk, hot sauce, pickle brine and apple cider vinegar in one bowl, let it sit for 5-10 minutes to form the buttermilk. Make sure it's thick enough to stick to the chick'n, if not, add more vinegar. Combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and cajun seasoning in another bowl.

  9. Take a piece of parchment paper and poke some holes in it with a chopstick (or something else you can't accidentally stab yourself with).

  10. If you are gonna preheat your Air Fryer, make sure you don't put the parchment paper inside or else it will fly up into the coils and cause a FIRE! NOOO!!!

  11. Line the Air Fryer with the parchment paper.

  12. Now dredge your vegan chick'n in the wet mixture and then the dry. You only need to do a single dredge for this.

  13. Add the chick'n to the Air Fryer, making sure not to crowd it. You don't want any of the pieces touching each other.

  14. Spray them with some oil, then flip and spray again. You want to make sure you don't see any dry flour.

  15. Air Fry at 380° F for 6 minutes. Then flip and spray them, making sure to spray any dry flour you see. Repeat this process until they are at your desired doneness!
