Cooking Instructions
  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Trim the ends of the enoki mushrooms and slice them into thin clusters, about an inch thick.
  2. Heat the Oil: In a pot, add neutral oil and heat it to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  3. Make the Batter: Whisk together flour, potato starch, baking powder, salt, white pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and five spice powder. Gradually add sparkling water to achieve a smooth batter.
  4. Dredge the Mushrooms: Coat each bunch of mushrooms in the batter, letting excess drip off.
  5. Fry the Mushrooms: Carefully lower the mushrooms into the hot oil in small batches and fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Drain and Season: Remove fried mushrooms from the oil and place on a wire rack. Sprinkle with salt while hot.
