Ayeh Manfre (pictured) has revealed how to make delicious Korean fried chicken from home but with one unlikely ingredient – oyster mushrooms 

She then combined the spices and flour together before she took some of the dry mixture into a separate bowl and added water into it. 

She mixed the water and flour together then dunked oyster mushrooms into the wet batter and into the dry batter. 

‘I’ve used oyster mushrooms which have such a similar texture and totally look like chicken,’ Ayeh wrote.  

Ayeh double coated the mushrooms in her spice batter then dunked them into oil to turn a golden, crispy texture just like fried chicken 

She repeated the wet to dry batter process once more to double coat the mushrooms then fried them in hot oil until golden. 

Once the ‘fried chicken’ turned golden Ayeh placed them into a bowl and tossed them generously in new Korean Style Street Food Sauce by Heinz. 

Her recipe video received instant attention and more than 42,000 views from foodies in just 22 hours.
