00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:01.830
When I went vegetarian over a decade ago,

2
00:00:01.879 --> 00:00:05.590
I never thought that I'd be able to eat wings that were this delicious and realistic,

3
00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:06.340
but here we are.

4
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:07.760
I figured out how to make the crispiest,

5
00:00:07.880 --> 00:00:10.130
juiciest chicken wings using Enoki mushrooms.

6
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:10.720
Unbelievable.

7
00:00:10.819 --> 00:00:12.039
All I had to do was slightly change out

8
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:14.449
my battering technique because for my oyster mushroom wings,

9
00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:16.360
I normally coat them in a really thick layer

10
00:00:16.360 --> 00:00:18.280
of wet batter first and then the dry batter.

11
00:00:18.319 --> 00:00:21.040
But because Enoki mushrooms are thin and stringy,

12
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:22.159
if you add too much wet batter,

13
00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:23.680
it can get trapped in between the shreds.

14
00:00:23.764 --> 00:00:26.004
And then not cook evenly throughout the frying process.

15
00:00:26.155 --> 00:00:28.315
So I just add a super thin layer of the wet batter,

16
00:00:28.354 --> 00:00:31.395
so it's just barely coating the mushrooms before adding it to the dry batter.

17
00:00:31.434 --> 00:00:34.115
And then I spent a couple of minutes just clumping everything together to

18
00:00:34.115 --> 00:00:36.584
shape it into a wing so it looks as realistic as possible.

19
00:00:36.674 --> 00:00:37.384
And while they were frying,

20
00:00:37.395 --> 00:00:40.744
I made this super easy sticky soy hot honey sauce to go on top,

21
00:00:40.755 --> 00:00:43.115
and it was absolutely unbelievable.

22
00:00:43.205 --> 00:00:44.264
Just toss your rings in the sauce,

23
00:00:44.275 --> 00:00:45.205
and that is basically,

24
00:00:45.235 --> 00:00:45.555
you guys,

00:00:45.674 --> 00:00:47.424
