Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Mushrooms: Trim the root end of the enoki mushrooms, separate strands, and slice into 1/4-inch layers.
  2. Heat Oil: Pour enough neutral oil into a pot, about 2-3 inches deep, and heat to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Make the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together potato starch, flour, baking powder, salt, white pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, and five spice powder. Gradually add sparkling water until smooth.
  4. Dredge Mushrooms: Dip enoki mushrooms into the batter, coating evenly and shaking off excess.
  5. Fry: Carefully lower battered mushrooms into hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Drain and Season: Remove mushrooms from oil and place on a wire rack. Season with salt and furikake immediately.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces.
