Ngl at first sight after making these, they looked like tiny pom poms or little squids. either way, aren’t they hella cute?? i feel like i’ve had a lot of different fried mushrooms but wrapping it in nori gives it another texture to play with besides cronchy. the stipes of the mushroom still keeps it’s original “noodle” texture inside the nori so it has a half/half bite to it. i can see myself pairing it in tempura dishes like udon or donburi’s (hehe a hint for upcoming video)- or even as a naked appetizer with truffle oil or togarashi powder. all gateways for all you mushmommys.
