4 oz       Oyster mushrooms, rinsed and kept slightly moist
1 1/2 cup  safflower oil for frying

2 cups     fresh bread crumbs (not dried, no crust)
4 tsp      nori flakes
1/2 tsp    garlic powder

INSTRUCTIONS:

Thoroughly mix ingredients for each of the three mixes.  Heat oil to 350 in a wok or frying pan.  Dip mushrooms in flour mix and shake off
excess.  Dip mushrooms into water mix and shake off excess.  Roll mushrooms in crumb mix and put in hot oil. Fry them each for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Drain mushrooms on a towel covered plate.  Keep mushrooms warm in oven or cool and reheat later as needed.
