Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Brussel Sprouts
Trim the ends of the brussel sprouts and remove any damaged outer leaves. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry.
- 2
Make the Tempura Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add cold water, stirring until the batter is smooth and has a thick consistency.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Batter and Fry the Brussel Sprouts
Dip each brussel sprout into the tempura batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
- 5
Prepare the Chipotle Sauce
In a bowl, mix together chipotle sauce (or blend chipotle peppers in adobo with mayonnaise or yogurt) and adjust seasoning to taste.
- 6
Toss and Serve
In a large bowl, toss the fried brussel sprouts with the chipotle sauce until evenly coated. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
