Ingredients

  • 3 bunches broccolini, trimmed and halved
  • 2 330 ml bottles Japanese beer, chilled
  • 500 g (3⅓ cups) self-raising flour
  • 1 tbsp black peppercorns
  • sea salt
  • vegetable oil, for deep-frying  
  • 200 g tapioca flour
  • coriander sprigs and thinly sliced spring onions, to serve
Dressing
  • 1 long green chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 80 ml (⅓ cup) coconut vinegar or rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. For the dressing, place all the ingredients in a small bowl with 1½ tablespoons water and stir to combine well.  
  2. Pour beer into a mixing bowl. Add the flour bit by bit, mixing as you go until you get the consistency of thick pouring cream (you may not need all of it). Set aside.
  3. Grind the black peppercorns in mortar and pestle until coarse. Add an equal amount of sea salt, stir to combine and set aside.
  4. Fill a saucepan half-way with oil and heat to 170ºC.
  5. Place the tapioca flour in a large bowl. Working in small batches, lightly dust the broccolini with tapioca flour, then dip into the batter, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Fry the broccolini until golden, then drain on paper towel. Season with the salt and pepper mix.
  6. Serve the salt and pepper broccolini scattered with coriander sprigs and spring onion, with the dressing on the side for dipping.
