1/2 teaspoon of white pepper
1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

-In a large mixing bowl, combine water, egg, minced garlic, ground coriander, sea salt, white pepper, brown sugar and baking soda. Mix very well until thick. This will serve as the batter.
-Place oyster mushrooms in the batter and gently stir until all of the pieces are coated.
-Deep fry coated mushroom in coconut oil using medium heat. Deep fry small batches of oyster mushrooms at a time as overcrowding can keep you from ending up with perfectly crisp oyster mushrooms.
-Transfer already browned and crispy oyster mushrooms to a large plate that’s lined with a few pieces of kitchen towel to get rid of excess coconut oil.
