Fried Curried Shiitake Mushrooms

Don’t be scared off by the title; the mushrooms actually absorb very little oil as they cook. (I originally called this recipe Sautéed Curried Shiitake Mushrooms, but it wasn’t technically correct.) I love these as little hors d’oeuvres or atop a freshly dressed crisp green salad. Rice flour is available in any health food store or Asian grocery if it’s not in your supermarket. It produces a crisper coating than all-purpose flour.
