Preparation
-
Prepare the Dips:
- Measure the Hellmann's Vegan Mayonnaise into three bowls.
- Add the bulgogi and sesame seeds to one, the wasabi paste and furikake to the second, and the sweet chilli sauce and chilli flakes to the third.
- Mix each into a smooth sauce and season to taste.
- Spoon each sauce into a small serving bowl, and top with their respective garnishes: toasted sesame seeds for the bulgogi, furikake for the wasabi, and chilli flakes for the sweet chilli dip.
-
Prepare the Tempura:
- Mix together cornstarch, flour, rice flour, baking powder, and cold sparkling water. Make sure not to overmix the batter.
- Add the vegetables to the bowl and mix to coat evenly. Shake to remove excess batter.
- Drop into hot oil to deep-fry until light and crispy.
- When cooked, remove from the oil and place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Plate the fritter on a warm serving dish, topped with some cress and furikake, alongside the dipping sauces.
