Sticky Sesame Vegetables

Mix cornflour, refined flour, salt in a bowl with enough water to make a thick batter. Add the vegetables and mix so that all the vegetables are well coated. Make palm sized flattened cakes of the battered vegetables.

Heat enough oil in a wok and deep fry the vegetable cakes for 1-2 minutes – just until they start changing colour, Drain on absorbent paper and set aside.

Once the cakes are fried, cut them into bite size pieces and deep fry again until they are golden brown and crispy.

For the sauce, heat two tablespoons of oil in a pan until its smoking hot, add the dry red chilly to get the smoking flavour in the pan/wok. Add the garlic, green chillies and sauté until brown.

Add the ketchup, dark soy sauce, honey, spring onion and salt, sauté for half a minute. Add all the fried vegetables and mix well until the vegetables are coated with the sauce, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve hot.
