Fried Asparagus

Ingredients

• 600 g white asparagus
• 0.5 bunch coriander leaves
• 80 g flour
• 2 nori sheets
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 1 Egg white
• oil (for frying)
• 200 g yogurt
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp chopped coriander green

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash, peel, trim the ends of the asparagus and cut each spear diagonally or into thirds.

2. 2.

   Cut the nori sheets so that each piece can wrap a single asparagus spear. Wrap each spear in a nori sheet, sealing the seam with a little water. Wash, dry, and finely chop the coriander.

3. 3.

   Whisk the flour with baking powder and 80 ml cold water until smooth. Beat the egg white to stiff peaks and fold it into the batter along with some chopped coriander.

4. 4.

   Heat oil to 180 °C (when a wooden spoon dipped in the oil bubbles).

5. 5.

   Mix the yogurt sauce ingredients together and season to taste.

6. 6.

   Dip each asparagus spear in the batter, then fry in batches until crisp. Drain on paper towels, plate, and serve with the yogurt sauce and remaining coriander.
