Japanese Style Eryngii Mushroom Fajita

There are some tortillas left after our last fajitas meal and we wished to have some light lunch. Suddenly a light bulb lit up above my head! Eryingii mushrooms! I want to use this meaty and juicy mushroom to create a fried chicken alike flavour which might work well with the mayonnaise and okonomiyaki sauce. I used the simplest seasoning and lightly floured the mushrooms and used the least oil to fry it. The tangy okonomiyaki sauce works perfectly well with the mayonnaise, mushroom and tortillas. The seaweed is an extra bonus to the flavour. We love it to the bits and wished to make again when there is a chance!

Ingredients: (makes 3 fajita wraps)

3 Tortillas

3 medium Eryngii mushroom/ king oyster mushroom

1/2tsp salt

some freshly cracked black pepper

1tbsp Plain flour

1tbsp Vegetable oil

1 slice Roasted sushi seaweed (cut into 0.5m x 10mm strips)

Some Japanese Mayonnaise

Some Okonomiyaki sauce

Steps:

1. Wash and slightly trim off the ends of Eryngii musrooms.

2. Slice the mushroom into small chunks about 3cm long x 1cm thick (I cut them into long strips at first but found it hard to bite off so I cut them into smaller pieces at the end).

3. In a bowl, add the mushroom chunks, salt, black pepper and plain flour. Toss and press the mushrooms to make sure they are evenly coated with the seasoning and flour.

4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add vegetable oil, add the floured mushroom chunks. Turn the mushrooms with chopsticks when one side turns golden brown. 

5. Turn to lower medium heat when every side is golden, put the lid on and wait for about 1 minute. This will soften the mushroom and it is fully cooked. Set aside.

6. In another pan over medium low heat, heat a slice of tortilla for 30 seconds and turn to the other side and heat for another 30 seconds. Remove the tortilla from the pan and lay it on a plate. Add some fried mushrooms, squeeze some mayonnaise and okonomiyaki sauce and topped with some sliced seaweed. 

7. Roll the tortilla with the ingredients and fold in the ends, cut the fajita in the middle and ready to serve! Enjoy!
