Deep fried food is my love/hate
kinda thing. I loved the fact that they’re crunchy and tasty, but I hated the
fact that they tend to be greasy and fattening. But indulging on them once in a
while is a-okay on my book!
Anyway, my friend introduced
me to this dish at one of our favorite Chinese restaurant, and I’m forever
hooked. Needless today, I managed to make a replica, which is also hell of a
lot better!

your breading station, the order goes Eggbath – Breading – Oil. Meanwhile, heat
up your oil on a medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, or until hot.
Step 5 – Dip your Enoki strands on the eggs, add it to the breading, and proceed to dip it into
the oil. Deep fry for about 1-1,5 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat.

Get yourself a dipping sauce, preferably a mix of Asian

You can even use this to top off a vegetarian sandwich. F yeah
