Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Broccoli

    Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Pat dry to ensure they are not soggy.

  2. 2

    Make Tempura Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and water until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the broccoli.

  3. 3

    Heat Oil for Frying

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat Broccoli

    Dip each broccoli floret into the tempura batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  5. 5

    Fry Broccoli

    Carefully place the battered broccoli florets into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Prepare Sauce

    In another pan, heat the sweet chili sauce over low heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring frequently for about 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden.

  7. 7

    Combine

    Toss the fried broccoli in the sweet chili garlic sauce until well coated.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Plate the Bang Bang Broccoli, garnishing with chopped scallions and sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately.
