Method
Prepare the Batter
- 1
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Add Cold Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry mixture while whisking until you achieve a smooth, thick batter. Set aside.

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Dip and Fry
Take each vegetable piece, dip it into the prepared batter, allowing the excess to drip off, and carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Cook Until Golden
Fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried vegetables and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
