You would think that it’s national mushroom week with two of my past three recipes being tied to mushrooms (Portobello ‘Shroom Burger & Fried King Oyster Mushroom Bites (Vegan)). Not to mention the one that’s coming today. But no, I just have major love for them! Be it as additions in soups and stews, or as its own main dish, mushrooms are simply sensational.

Crispy Fried Oyster Mushroom Burger

Oyster mushrooms in particular are known to have a more “meaty” and tender texture to it. Once breaded and fried, this crispy patty is often called as a vegan-friendly substitute to fried chicken. So naturally, I wanted to experiment incorporating it in one of my most-loved recipes: the Spicy Crispy Chicken Burger (inspired by KFC’s Zinger Burger!).

However, there are some slight adjustments to the seasonings and how I make the patty crispy. For this recipe, I bread the mushrooms by dredging it in the batter then coat it with panko crumbs.

Assemble the burger by placing the fried mushroom patty between toasted buns, alongside some lettuce, slices of cheese and tomatoes, and the spicy creamy sauce.

Make it vegan

I used Kewpie mayo as one of the ingredients for the sauce. Swap it out with vegan mayo and use vegan cheese slices.

Notes for Spicy Crispy Mushroom Burger (Vegan-friendly)

  • Cleaning the mushroom – Don’t let the mushrooms soak in water as they act like a sponge and will absorb the water. Instead, pat/wipe it with a damp paper towel.
  • Burger sauce – The sauce is a mixture of Kewpie mayo/vegan mayo, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, rice vinegar, light soy sauce, and chili flakes.
  • Coat with batter fully – Make sure every inch of the oyster mushroom is covered with the batter otherwise the panko crumbs will not stick.
  • Coat with panko – Make sure to really pack on the panko crumb so every inch of the mushroom is coated.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Cocon Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Coconut Curry) @farahjeats 
Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
