1. 1.Shred the mushrooms by hand. Now gently mix the shredded oyster mushrooms with salt, pepper, paprika powder and minced garlic in a mixing bowl, set aside.
2. 2.Combine the almond milk, plain flour (all purpose) and salt in a small bowl, mix well and set aside.
3. 3.Place 6 tablespoons of flour on a plate.
4. 4.Arrange your worktop so you have a bowl of shredded oyster mushrooms, a liquid mixture and a plate of flour next to each other.
5. 5.Pour about 3cm of vegetable oil into a small non-stick saucepan and heat on high.
6. 6.Insert a wooden spoon into the oil. When you see the oil bubble around the spoon it is fully heated. Then reduce the heat down to medium ready for deep frying.
7. 7.Quickly dip each piece of mushroom into the liquid mixture and then roll in in the flour until it is completely coated. Carefully add the mushroom into the oil and deep fry until it is a nice golden colour all around and floating on top of the oil.
8. 8.Repeat the same process for each piece, frying only 4-5 pieces at the same time. Don’t pour them all at one go as they will stick together.
9. 9.Place the deep-fried mushrooms on a tray with oil-absorbing cooking paper or kitchen towel and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
10. 10.Serve with freshly squeezed lime juice and your preferred flavour sauce (sweet chilli sauce, ketchup, vegan mayonnaise or vegan sour cream... etc.).
