Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Wash the asparagus under cold water and trim the tough ends. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Wash the cucumber and slice it thinly into long strips using a knife or a mandoline.

Batter Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add water and whisk until the batter is smooth. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.

Frying Asparagus

  1. 4

    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).

  2. 5

    Fry the Asparagus

    Dip each asparagus spear into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Roll and Serve

    Take a fried asparagus spear and place a slice of cucumber on top. Roll it up gently. Repeat with remaining asparagus and cucumber slices. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with soy sauce on the side.
