Instructions
- 1
Prepare the ingredients: score the underside of the shrimp to prevent curling, and slice vegetables uniformly for even cooking. Dust lightly with flour.
- 2
Heat neutral oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to exactly 340°F (170°C) for vegetables and 350°F (175°C) for seafood.
- 3
In a chilled bowl, gently whisk the ice water and egg together, then loosely sprinkle in the cake flour.
- 4
Using chopsticks, mix the batter barely and quickly; it should remain lumpy and thin, with visible pockets of dry flour to ensure a delicate, shattering crust.
- 5
Dip ingredients into the cold batter one at a time, letting excess drip off, and gently slip them into the hot oil.
- 6
Fry for 2-3 minutes until the coating is crisp and pale blond, not heavily browned. Drain immediately on a wire rack to maintain maximum crispness.
