Method
step 1
Put all of the dipping sauce ingredients into a bowl and whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
step 2
Tip the flours and salt into a large bowl and gradually whisk in the soda water – don’t over-whisk as this will make the batter tough.
step 3
Fill a pan no more than 1/3 full with oil and heat to 180C or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds.
step 4
Dip 4 or 5 broccoli spears into the batter, coat fully and gently lower into the oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until really crisp, then drain on kitchen paper and season with sea salt. Keep warm in a low oven while you fry the rest. Serve with the dipping sauce.
