Deep Frying Veggies with Amanda Cohen

Deep frying some vegetables from the garden today and don’t know where to start? Amanda Cohen gives a great deep fat cooked veggie primer via Vice and Munchies. She deep fries in three different ways: her vodka batter, a panko or crumb crust using the standard breading procedure, and simple cornstarch toss.

Her vodka batter recipe from the video is below. If you want the full recipe for her Korean Fried Broccoli, mosey on over to Munchies where she shares her sauce, too.

Vodka Batter Recipe

Amanda Cohen says by using vodka in the batter it makes for a much more flaky outside coating – the vodka prevents the gluten from forming. She says buy the cheap vodka for this recipe, and don’t worry about the flavor of it – it doesn’t come through after its fried.
