Ingredients:
- 250 g carrot, julienne cut
- 250 g cabbage, thinly cut
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 300 ml water
- 3 shallots, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 tsp mushroom stock powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Julienne cut the carrots and thinly slice the cabbage.
- Finely chop the shallots and mince the garlic.
- Make the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, mushroom stock powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter.
- Add the julienned carrots, thinly sliced cabbage, chopped shallots, and minced garlic to the batter. Stir thoroughly to make sure all the vegetables are uniformly covered.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough for frying, but not smoking (around 350°F or 175°C).
- Fry the Fritters:
- Using a spoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the vegetable batter into the hot oil. Press them down gently with the spoon to flatten.
- Fry the fritters in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
- Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve:
- Serve the crispy vegetable fritters hot, with your favorite dipping sauce such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or a tangy yogurt dip.
