Salt to taste (about 1 ts per half cup of flour

Mix whole mung bean flour with tap water until like a loose paste (sort of like the consistency of ketchup)
Add salt; taste batter for salt
Dip quarters mushrooms or any small-cut vegetables in the batter. They should be thickly coated as this is your protein of the day.
