Ingredients
Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings
-
ice cubes
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
-
1 cup ice water

vegetable oil for frying
-
1 small head cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces

1 small head broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces

Directions
-
Fill a large bowl with ice cubes. Mix flour and arrowroot powder together a smaller bowl; set over the ice cubes. Pour ice water slowly into the flour mixture, mixing until the batter has a medium-thick texture.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Dip each piece of cauliflower into the batter and cook in batches in the hot oil until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat with broccoli, red bell pepper, and baby carrots.
