• Old Bay seasoning - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Panko breadcrumbs - 1 cup (100 grams)
• Vegetable oil - 1/2 cup (120 ml) for frying
• French baguette - 2 small (about 6 inches each)
• Lettuce - 1 cup, shredded
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Dill pickles - 1/2 cup, sliced
• Vegan mayonnaise - 1/4 cup (60 grams)

Steps

1. Clean the oyster mushrooms and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Pour the plant-based milk into another bowl.
4. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
5. Dip each oyster mushroom first into the flour mixture, then the plant-based milk, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well-coated.
6. In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
7. Fry the coated mushrooms in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
