Ingredients

  • 2 cups (170g) broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp (15g) cake flour

Batter (mayo version)

  • 1 1/2 tbsp (22g) Japanese mayonnaise
  • 7 tbsp (105ml) water
  • 6 tbsp (48g) cake flour
  • 3 tbsp (30g) potato starch
  • 1 tbsp (6g) aonori
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Batter (vinegar version)

  • 5–7 tbsp (80-105) ml cold water / cold carbonated water 
  • 4 tsp (20ml) vinegar 
  • 6 tbsp (48g) cake flour
  • 3 tbsp (30g) potato starch 
  • 1 tbsp (6g) aonori
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Remove broccoli stem from florets. Cut the broccoli into bite size pieces. Wash and drain well. Add the broccoli to a container with 2 tbsp of the cake flour. Cover the bowl and shake to coat the broccoli in the flour.
  2. In another bowl, mix together the cake flour, potato starch, aonori, water, salt and pepper. If the batter is quite thick, add 1 extra tbsp of water. The batter should be slightly looser then tempura or pancake batter.
  3. Add oil to a pan and heat to 160-170 C(320-338 F). Dip the broccoli into the batter and then carefully place into the oil. Fry for 1-2 minutes and then turn each piece and fry other side until golden brown. Remove broccoli and place on a wire rack to let excess oil drip off.
  4. Serve immediently and enjoy!

    I’m very excited to try this. What’s your take if I use my air fryer instead?

      All purpose can work but it may be a little more chewy and dense!

    Cake flour? Is that the same as regular flour? Sorry, that threw me off, but I can’t wait to try this recipe! Maybe my kids will finally eat their broccolis!

    This was so tasty! I did the mayonnaise batter version with egg-free Kewpie and we really enjoyed it, the aonori adds a lovely little pop of flavour <3

    So so so yum!! I’ve never enjoyed eating my greens more! Haha. No but really, the broccoli was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I dipped it in Lisa’s tomato tuna recipe and it went soooo well together – highly recommend!! Now I want to make all my vegetables like this 😀 Thank you Lisa for this wonderful recipe, as usual!!
