All purpose flouras needed for dredging
2large eggsbeaten with 2 tablespoon water
Instructions
Separate the coral mushrooms into pieces about the size of a chicken egg.
Clean the coral mushrooms with a brush and if needed dip and swish in water.
Dust your coral mushrooms lightly in flour, dip in the egg, then in the flour again.
Heat a saute pan on medium low with cooking oil. Test the heat of the oil by sprinkling some flour in it, when it sizzles, turn the heat to medium-high, then add the coral mushrooms and fry 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden. Adjust the heat as necessary here to brown the mushrooms.
Remove the corals from the pan sprinkle with kosher salt, and allow to drain on a paper towel for a few seconds to remove excess oil. Serve immediately with the chive aioli on the side.
