About the Recipe
These golden, crispy plant-based seafood rings are seasoned with white pepper and garlic, then coated in a light, airy batter for a satisfying crunch in every bite. Ideal as a starter, party snack or side dish, they pair perfectly with a variety of Asian dipping sauces.
Ingredients
• 250 g — Beanstalk Seafood Rings
• ½ cup (60 g) — Plain flour
• ¼ cup (30 g) — Cornflour
• 1 tsp — Garlic powder
• ½ tsp — Fine white pepper
• ½ tsp — Salt
• ½ cup (120 ml) — Cold sparkling water
• enough to fill pan 8 cm deep — Oil for deep frying
Method
- Heat oil in a deep saucepan to 180°C. To test readiness, drop a small amount of batter into the oil — it should bubble vigorously and rise to the surface immediately.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornflour, garlic powder, white pepper and salt until evenly combined.
- Add the cold sparkling water all at once and whisk briskly for about 30 seconds until you have a smooth, light batter. Do not over-mix. The batter should be thin enough to coat the rings lightly — add a splash more sparkling water if needed.
- Pat the Beanstalk Seafood Rings dry with kitchen paper to help the batter adhere. Dip each ring into the batter one at a time, letting excess drip off.
- Carefully lower 4–5 rings at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 2–3 minutes per batch, turning once at the halfway mark, until uniformly golden and crisp.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack or several layers of kitchen paper. Do not stack them while hot as they will lose their crispiness.
- Repeat with remaining rings, allowing the oil to return to 180°C between each batch.
Serving & Garnish
Arrange on a serving plate lined with parchment and scatter with thinly sliced spring onions and a pinch of sesame seeds. Serve immediately with a small bowl of Thai sweet chilli sauce for dipping, and a wedge of lemon or lime on the side. A light sprinkle of shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven-spice) adds a wonderful aromatic heat.
