Crispy Asparagus Delight: A Tantalizing Twist to a Classic Recipe

Step 1

Begin by heating a generous amount of oil in a saucepan or deep fryer on medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together the tempura mix and water until you achieve a slightly runny batter consistency.

Step 3

Prepare the asparagus by removing any tough ends from the spears. Next, dip each spear into the batter, ensuring they are fully and evenly coated.

Step 4

Gently place around 5 to 6 coated asparagus spears into the hot oil. Cook until they begin to float to the surface, which should take approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 5

Once done, carefully remove the fried asparagus and let them drain on paper towels. Add a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor.

Step 6

Continue this process with the remaining asparagus until all are cooked to perfection.
