Trumpet Mushroom ‘Calamari’
[Vegan]

To Make the "Calamari":

1. In a bowl, mix glutinous rice flour and water. Add salt and paprika and mix well.
2. Prepare your frying station starting with the bowl of mushrooms, the glutinous rice flour mixture, and the plate of bread crumbs.
3. Heat a small frying pan over medium heat. Once hot enough, pour at least two inches of cooking oil.
4. Test if the oil is hot enough by frying a small piece of mushroom. If it bubbles instantly, it's ready.
5. Dip the mushroom in the sticky rice mixture, roll it on bread crumbs, and fry it in hot oil until golden brown.
6. Repeat the steps for the rest of the mushrooms.
7. Serve hot.

To Serve:

1. Place 2-3 tablespoons of "calamari" mushrooms on a lettuce leaf.
2. Top with tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
3. Drizzle with your favorite sauce on top.
