  • 150g (1 cup) plain flour
  • 35g (1/4 cup) cornflour
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 250ml (1 cup) iced water
  • 2 carrots, cut into very thin long strips
  • 20g (1 cup) carrot top sprigs
  • Peanut oil, to deep-fry
  • Sea salt flakes, to sprinkle
  • Soy sauce, to serve

Directions

  • Step 1 Place combined flours in a bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add the yolk and water. Stir until just combined. Add the carrot and carrot tops stir until just combined.
  • Step 2 Add enough oil to a large saucepan to reach a depth of 5cm. Heat to 170C over medium-high heat. Cook the carrots and tops, in batches, for 1-2 minutes each side or until golden and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with remaining mixture, reheating oil between batches. Sprinkle with salt and serve with soy sauce.
