Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 5 large eggs
- 2/3 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Fill a large pot half full with vegetable oil. Heat to 350 degrees F.

This cauliflower is now a favorite. I prepared the ingredients with my daughter. The batter was relatively light and the cauliflower maintained its freshness. I omitted the salt and it was still great. This recipe is a keeper!

Tried this recipe for the first time for guests. The only incident I had was when I added the veggies to the hot oil (only added 1/3 the first time the oil boiled over on the stove and started a small fire - so would advice cooks to watch out for this to happen. I cleared that up and will not have as much oil in the pan - or will put in a larger pan - next time. Veggies came out wonderful anyway and will make this many times more. Thanks.
