Crispy enoki with hot maple garlic sauce

Method

1. 01.

   Trim off the root base. Halve the enoki and tear into small clusters.

2. 02.

   Mix the seasoned flour in one bowl. Whisk the batter in another: smooth but slightly thick.

3. 03.

   Toss each cluster in the seasoned flour, dip in the batter, then back into the flour, pressing lightly.

4. 04.

   Heat the air fryer to 200°C and spray the basket. Cook in a single layer without overcrowding, sprayed with oil, 8–10 min, flipping and spraying again halfway, until golden, crisp and slightly shaggy.

5. 05.

   Melt the vegan butter in a pan. Fry the garlic 30–60 sec. Add maple syrup, soy sauce and chilli flakes. Simmer 1–2 min until glossy.

6. 06.

   Toss or brush the mushrooms in the sauce. Serve.
