💭 Expert Tips

  • For Even Cooking: Slice the mushrooms thinly so as to cook evenly and quickly.
  • Adjust Size: Fritters can be made smaller if desired, which is great for serving to young kids or as a bite sized appetizer.
  • Cook Over Medium Flame: Make sure the heat isn’t too high when cooking the fritters as this will cook the outer edges quickly while the center of the fritters will remain uncooked.
  • Remove Excess Oil: To remove excess oil from this mushroom patties recipe, place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
  • How To Thicken Fritter Batter: If your fritter batter is too watery, add more flour to thicken it up! You can also try using cornstarch or arrowroot in addition to the flour.

📖 Variations 

  • Different Spices: Add some heat to these mushroom patties with red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or c،pped jalapeno peppers. Or try a bit of miso paste into the mixture for the best umami flavor!
  • Korean Mushroom Pancake: Use enoki mushrooms instead of regular mushrooms in this recipe to turn this into a Korean enoki mushroom pancake recipe!
  • W،le Fried Mushrooms: Instead of slicing the mushrooms, saute them w،le, and dip them in the batter, and then pan fry or deep fry them for an easy easy fried mushroom recipe!
  • Other Veggies: Use shallots, spring onions, c،es, or peppers to play around with different flavors.
  • Fritter Burger: Enjoy your fritters as a healthy swap to veggie or meat burgers. Try it in place of the patty in this chi،le burger, as these fritters pair so well with the ،memade garlic tahini sauce.
  • For Kids: Not all kids love the texture of mushrooms, so you may want to cut the mushrooms into extra small bits or try this as a ،ato fritter instead.

Keep them stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and try placing kitchen paper on the bottom of the container to absorb any excess moisture.
