Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the ice-cold water, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

2. 2

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).

3. 3

   Dip the sliced vegetables into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

4. 4

   Carefully place the battered vegetables into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

5. 5

   Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve hot with soy sauce for dipping.
