Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Ensure the leaves are completely dry to avoid oil splatters.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and water. Mix well until you have a smooth, thin batter. The batter should lightly coat a spoon when dipped in.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (356°F). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the top immediately.
Dip each spinach leaf into the batter, ensuring it is lightly coated. Allow any excess batter to drip back into the bowl.
Carefully place the battered spinach leaves into the hot oil, a few at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 30-40 seconds per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the crispy spinach leaves from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the process until all the spinach leaves are fried.
Serve the crispy spinach as is, or pair it with a dipping sauce of your choice. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor!
