  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 Servings

Description

This Monterey® Lion’s Mane Mushrooms recipe is a fresh take on a takeout favorite. Here’s everything you’ll need to bring this crave-worthy bowl to life.


Ingredients

  • ¾ cup orange juice
  • ⅓ cup orange marmalade
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • (3) 3.5 oz. Lion’s Mane Monterey® mushrooms, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups cooked white rice, kept warm for serving
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets, kept warm for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine orange juice, marmalade and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer glaze to a large heat-proof bowl and set aside.

  2. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, combine 1 cup of flour, milk, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Whisk until smooth. Place remaining flour into a separate shallow bowl. Dredge mushroom pieces one at a time, first into a batter mixture, then coating with flour.

  3. Carefully place battered mushroom pieces into hot oil and fry until golden-brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove and place onto a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

  4. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl with reserved orange glaze, and toss to coat.

  5. To serve, divide rice evenly among 2 bowls and top with orange-glazed mushrooms and steamed broccoli.
