I used to do an art show in Stockton, California called The Asparagus Festival. They served asparagus up in hundreds of ways but my favorite was the Deep Fried Asparagus. I used to love doing that show because of that delicious treat!So, here's a recipe I found that closely follows what they did at The Asparagus Festival in Stockton. Enjoy!
Text Recipe for Deep Fried Asparagus:
Ingredients:
3 Pounds of Raw Asparagus, Cleaned and Cut into 5" pieces.
1/2 Cup Cornstarch
Peanut Oil
3/4 Cup Flour
1/4 Tsp. Black Pepper
1/2 Ts. White Pepper
1 Tsp Salt
2/3 Cup Cold Flat Beer
1 Tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp. Celery Salt
2 Egg Whites
Toasted Sesame Seeds
Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
Whisk all the ingredients, except the asparagus, in a bowl. Dip the asparagus individually in the batter and deep fry in at least 2 inches of peanut oil until golden brown. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and/or Parmesan cheese.
COOKING TIP: Keep the batter bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice - this helps the batter butterfly out like tempura!
