Ingredients:
Assorted seasonal veggie or firm fruits (carrots, bell pepper, beans, squash, broccoli, apples, persimmons, etc)
1 cup Flour
1 cup Cornstarch
1 Egg
1 tbsp Baking powder
½ tsp Salt
Approximately 1 ½ cups water
Oil for frying in either an electric frier or a heavy pan
Directions:
1. Cut veggies and fruit into desired sized pieces.
2. Heat frying oil to 350 degrees.
2. In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, egg, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add just enough water to achieve your preferred consistency, approximately 1 ½ cups depending on humidity, etc. (Batter should stick to dipped veggies in no more than ⅛" thickness, it will puff up when fried.)
4. Toss veggies into batter bowl and gently mix to coat all pieces thoroughly.
5. Carefully drop individual veggie pieces into frying oil. You can fry multiple pieces at the same time, just don't over fill your oil. Fry until golden brown.
6. Remove from oil onto paper towel. Serve warm with soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or honey to dip as desired.
