Break off the broccoli florets from the stem, then cut them into bite-sized chunks. Wash them and let them dry thoroughly. Toss the broccoli in a bowl with 15g of pastry flour. Cover the bowl and shake it to coat the florets evenly with flour.

Mix the pastry flour, potato starch, aonori, water, salt, and pepper in a bowl. If it seems too thick, stir in a tablespoon of water at a time until the mix runs a little thinner than pancake or tempura batter.

Heat oil in a pan to 160-170°C. Dip each broccoli piece into the batter and safely place them in the hot oil. Let them fry for 1-2 minutes on one side, then flip them over and cook until they turn golden brown. Take them out and let them drain on a rack to shed extra oil.
