- Eringi mushrooms are particularly popular in Taiwan and Korea, known for their unique texture and flavor. The scientific name of eringi is "Pleurotus eryngii," and they are low in calories, rich in dietary fiber, and are said to contribute to boosting immunity. The Liuhe Tourist Night Market in Kaohsiung is the perfect place to enjoy Taiwanese street food, offering everything from fried foods to desserts. The key to making fried eringi is using cornstarch or cake flour to achieve a perfect crispy texture. By the way, the author, who highlights their family-oriented persona in this blog, might find it sweeter than mushrooms to expect their child to become a mushroom lover while enjoying a beer. Perhaps they're also keen on impressing with another "magic mushroom" called beer?
