Instructions: Whisk together the egg and water in a medium bowl. Coat the chile strips in the egg mixture, then set aside.

Place the cornmeal in a bowl next to the chile strips. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet until hot. Coat half the chile strips with cornmeal and add to the oil. Fry over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Fry the other half of the strips and drain. Salt to taste.
