Dipping Sauce

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prep the Vegetables
    Cut the onions in half, then slice thinly.
    Julienne or thinly slice the carrots.
    Chop the green onions into small pieces.
    Combine all vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Step 2: Make the Batter
    In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and baking powder
    Pour in sparkling water right before frying to maintain carbonation. Mix until just combined.
    Add the mixed vegetables into the batter and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Step 3: Fry the Fritters (Two Methods)
    Heat oil in a deep pan to 170–180°C (340–355°F).
    Method 1: Use a spatula to gently slide portions of batter into the oil.
    Method 2: Place a portion in a small mesh strainer and gently dip it into the oil. Don’t disturb it until it floats.
    Fry each batch for 5–8 minutes until lightly golden.
    Let cool slightly, then fry again for 3–5 minutes for extra crispiness.
    Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Step 4: Make the Dipping Sauce
    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
    Serve the hot, crispy fritters with the spicy, creamy dipping sauce on the side.
    Enjoy as a snack, starter, or pair with rice for a light meal!
