Karikari Maitake (Crispy Japanese Maitake Mushrooms)
Maitake mushrooms are delicious when grilled or roasted, but in Japan, they are often enjoyed fried. In Karikari Maitake, maitake mushrooms are pan-fried instead of being deep-fried, which enhances their natural flavor while creating a crispy texture.

Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 3.5 oz maitake mushrooms
- 2 Tbsp potato starch or corn starch
- 3 Tbsp neutral oil (for pan-frying)
Seasonings:
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
Garnish (optional):
- parsley leaves
- lemon wedge
Instructions
- Trim off the base of maitake mushrooms and separate them into smaller or individual pieces. Put the pieces and starch into a plastic bag, twist the bag shut, and shake it to coat them.
- Heat the oil in a pan. Once the pan is hot, add the maitake mushrooms and toss them in the oil. Pan-fry them over medium heat until browned, then flip them over and cook until browned on the other side. Finally, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Serve on a plate with lemon and parsley to taste.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, it is best to consume it as soon as possible after cooking to enjoy its optimal texture.
