Ingredients
  • 8 oz king oyster mushrooms
  • 8 small tortillas
  • Oil for frying
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder, divided
  • ¾ cup flour, divided
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Curry Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Chef’s Choice Panang curry paste
  • 1 can Chef’s Choice coconut milk, divided
  • 1 lime
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Chef’s Choice fish sauce
  • Garnish
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • Purple cabbage or radishes for garnish (optional)
  • 3 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • ⅓ cup coconut yogurt
Instructions
  1. In a large shallow pan, heat ¼” of mild oil over medium high heat. Lightly fry the tortillas until golden brown, turning so they cook evenly. Place on a tray lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  2. In a sauce pan, heat 1 tsp oil over medium heat. Cook the garlic, ginger, and curry paste for 30 seconds until fragrant, mashing the curry paste up with a wooden spoon. Add ½ cup coconut milk. Add the brown sugar, fish sauce, and the juice of ½ lime. Mix well. Reduce heat to medium low and let simmer, stirring often.
  3. Slice the mushrooms into bite sized pieces. In a bowl, lightly toss them with 1 tsp soy sauce and ½ tsp garlic powder. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, make your batter. In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup flour with ½ tsp garlic powder and smoked paprika. Add about ⅓ cup of water and stir until it’s the consistency of heavy cream.
  5. Toss the mushrooms in flour to coat, then dunk them in the batter then the panko. Arrange the mushrooms on an air frying tray. Air fry at 400F for 6-8 minutes, until crisp and browned.
  6. Prepare the garnishes. Mix a few tbsp coconut milk into the yogurt to your desired consistency.
  7. When the mushrooms are done, toss them in the curry sauce. Build the tostadas with carrots, mushrooms, radish or cabbage, and a drizzle of yogurt sauce. Finish with cilantro, a squeeze of lime and serve immediately!
