Tempura porcini with hoisin sauce

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
12.00 small porcini mushrooms
1 bayou blast; see * note
1.00 egg; beaten
⅔ cup flour
½ cup cornstarch
1.00 cup cold soda water
1 salt; to taste
1 freshly-ground black pepper; to taste
1 oil; for frying
2.00 tablespoon sesame oil
1.00 cup fresh herb salad
1 (use mild herbs only)
1.00 cup hoisin sauce
1.00 tablespoon finely-chopped parsley

Directions

* Note: See the "Bayou Blast - {Emeril's Creole Seasoning}" recipe which is included in this collection.

Preheat the fryer. Season the Porcini with Bayou Blast. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg, flour, cornstarch, and soda water together.

Whisk the batter until smooth. Season the batter with salt and pepper. Dip each mushroom in the batter, letting any excess drip off.

Fry a couple of mushrooms at a time until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir the mushrooms occasionally for overall browning. Remove the mushrooms from the fryer and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the mushrooms with the Creole seasoning. In a small mixing bowl, toss the sesame oil with the herb salad. Season the salad with salt and pepper. Spoon the hoisin sauce in the center of the plate and around the rim. Mound the tempura mushrooms in the center of the sauce. Top with the herb salad. Garnish with parsley. This recipe yields 4 appetizer servings.
