makes 8 starters or 3 large portions
Ingredients:
1/2 cup cold water
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 x 1/4 cup flour
1/2 t baking powder
1/4 cup oil
6 handful of fillings: mushrooms, broccoli, pickled ginger. It also works with a cheese that melts if you flip it frequently and pour runny batter over it when it is in the frying pan!
Preparation:
- Cut the fillings into mouth sized pieces
- Heat the oil to a medium-high temperature
- For the batter, mix the 1/2 cup cold water with the 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 cup flour, and 1/2 t baking powder until there are no more clumps. It is can be good if the batter is quite runny because it will fry quickly in the oil.
- Pour the remaining 1/4 cup flour on a plate
- Place each filling into the dry flour, shake off excess, and then place into the batter. Make sure all sides are coated.
- Place the batter-coated piece into the pan with hot oil. You can scoop extra batter up with a spoon and put it into the hot oil to increase batter coverage for each piece.
- Fry on each side for ~2 mins or until golden brown.
Note: not our favorites = tofu, bell peppers, avocado
