2 cups (500 ml) meat stock
1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
2 egg whites

2 cups (500 ml)
vegetable oil; uses about 2 oz
(60 ml)
spiced pepper-salt
1/4 tsp MSG

drain and place in a bowl. Add the
salt and MSG and mix well.
2. Whisk egg whites and flour into
batter and coat the mushrooms.
3. Heat the oil in a wok to about
230oF(110oC), add the mushrooms
one by one and deep-fry until the
batter is soaked with oil. Remove
and drain. Heat the oil to
400oF(205oC), or until a piece of
