These Oyster Mushroom Fritters make a crispy and flavorful appetizer or side dish, easily made in 25 minutes with only 5 ingredients.

These Mushroom Fritters draw inspiration from the Vietnamese fish cakes of my childhood. Traditionally made with fish, flour, and dill, my vegan twist features oyster mushrooms. Serve them with my savory sweet dipping sauce!
With a delightful texture—crispy exterior and tender interior—they burst with earthy mushroom notes, fragrant dill, and a subtle kick of spice. Whether enjoyed as an appetizer, snack or side dish, these fritters promise a flavorful addition to any dinner table!
