Deep fried Mushroom

When you were little, you never ate mushroom, be it on a pizza or in the chinese soup. One day, we went to Uncle Liugi's restaurent to eat dinner and it was very crowded. You were hungry, cranky and crying. So Uncle Liugi made some appetizer quickly to prevent you from chasing away all his customers.

He made deep fried mushroom, and you, my child who never ate mushroom till that day, ate every single mushroom on that plate.

Uncle Liugi had to teach me how to make it!!( Do you think I would leave him alone, if he didn't give me the recipe? Especially when I saw how much you loved the mushrooms??)

2oo gm of button mushroom( choose the bigger mushrooms)

1/2 t spn mustard powder

1/2 t spn pepper powder

1/4 t spn garlic powder

salt

2 tbl spn fine corn meal( not corn flour!)

1 cup bread crumbs

1 egg

oil to fry

Remove the mushroom stalks and wipe the mushrooms to clean. Don't ever wash the mushrooms! Mushrooms absorb the water.

Take the mushrooms in a bowl and add the pepper,garlic powder,mustard powder, salt and the corn meal. Mix it well and keep it aside.

Beat the egg with a fork

Take the bread crumbs in a bowl.

Dip each mushroom in the egg and roll it in the crumbs.

Keep aside for 5 mints.

Dip the coated mushroom again in the egg and roll in the bread crumbs. ( this ensures that you have a thick coating and the water from the mushroom won't come out while frying).

Deep fry.
