Directions: 

1. Shred the oyster mushrooms into smaller bite size pieces with your hands and place into a shallow baking pan.

2. Combine the wet ingredients, sugar, and aromatics for the marinade (shoyu, sake, mirin, coconut sugar, garlic, and ginger) into a bowl then add your mushrooms in and coat evenly. Cover the pan with saran wrap and place in the fridge for an hour to soak up the flavor. 

3. In the meantime, combine potato starch, salt, and white pepper into a bowl to make your breading.
