OYSTER FRIED MUSHROOMS

4 oz oyster mushrooms, rinsed and kept slightly moist
1 1/2 cup safflower oil for frying
 
1 tsp nori flakes, pulverized in a coffee grinder or blender
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup unbleached flower
pinch salt and pepper
 
1/2 tsp nori flakes
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup water
  
2 cups fresh bread crumbs (not dried, no crust)
4 tsp nori flakes
1/2 tsp garlic powder
 
Thoroughly mix ingredients for each of the three mixes.  Heat oil
to 350 Dredge mushrooms in flour mix and shake off excess.  Dip
mushrooms into water mix and shake off excess.  Dredge mushrooms
in crumb mix.  Fry mushrooms four to five at a time for about 1
1/2 minutes, being careful that the breading doesn't get beyond
golden.  Drain mushrooms on a towel covered plate.  Allow a minute
between batches for oil to re-heat.  Mushrooms may be kept warm in
a 250 oven.

Serve garnished with fresh lime chunks.

Note: These are supposed to resemble fried oysters.
