Crispy Nori Broccoli (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Broccoli

01 - 170g broccoli florets
02 - 15g pastry flour

→ Batter (mayo version)

03 - 22g Japanese mayo
04 - 105ml water
05 - 48g pastry flour
06 - 30g potato starch
07 - 6g aonori
08 - 1/4 tsp salt
09 - 1/8 tsp black pepper

→ Batter (vinegar version)

10 - 80-105ml cold water or chilled sparkling water
11 - 20ml vinegar
12 - 48g pastry flour
13 - 30g potato starch
14 - 6g aonori
15 - 1/4 tsp salt
16 - 1/8 tsp black pepper

# Instructions:

01 - 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.
02 - 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.
03 - 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.
04 - Enjoy them right away while they're hot and crispy.

# Notes:

01 - Opt for chilled sparkling water to make the batter extra light and crispy.
