Ingredients
1 bunch asparagus
1 cup rice flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 cup soda water
Sea salt
2 lemons, cut into wedges
Directions
- Preheat fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the tough and fibrous bottoms off the asparagus and peel stems with a vegetable peeler. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and coriander. Whisk in soda water just until incorporated with the dry ingredients. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 1 hour. Dip asparagus in batter and place in fryer until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Place on paper towels to drain and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with lemon wedges.
