Ingredients

4 servings

For the batter

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dredging
Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
¼ cup cornstarch
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp fine salt
1 cup ice-cold sparkling water

For the vegetables

1 medium sweet potato (about 8 oz), peeled and sliced ¼-inch thick
1 medium zucchini (about 8 oz), sliced ¼-inch thick on the diagonal
4 oz broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
Ingredient note
Cooking often breaks down the heat-sensitive proteins that trigger oral allergy syndrome, so the cooked broccoli in this recipe is likely tolerated by many with OAS. If unsure, consult your doctor. To always avoid broccoli, tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch strips
Ingredient note
Cooking often breaks down the heat-sensitive proteins that trigger oral allergy syndrome, so the cooked red bell pepper in this recipe is likely tolerated by many with OAS. If unsure, consult your doctor. To always avoid red bell pepper, tap it and change its rating to Red.

For frying

4 cups neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil), for frying

For the dipping sauce

3 tbsp soy sauce
Chef's tip
Coconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning.
3 tbsp mirin
½ cup water
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated

For serving

2 tbsp daikon radish, finely grated (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the soy sauce, mirin, water, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the grated ginger, and set aside to cool slightly.
2
Pat all the vegetables completely dry with paper towels. Spread a thin layer of all-purpose flour on a plate and lightly dredge each piece, shaking off any excess. Set aside on a clean plate.
