crispy Chinese batter
75g cornflour
1 large egg
10ml (2tsp) baking powder
5ml (1tsp) cooking oil
good pinch of salt
cold water
Mix the egg, cornflour, salt and oil with enough cold water to form a
creamy base on which to add either egg and breadcrumbs or batter.
It helps to hold the other coatings firmly to the food.
frying times
Use these times purely as a guide. Check that food is cooked
through before serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more. Chips and
other veg should be crisp. Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives
(mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear. Cook fish till the flesh is
opaque throughout.
chips (french fries)
Use a chipping potato, like King Edward, Cara, Maris Piper, Romano
or Desirée.

fry for 5-10 minutes (depending on quantity) at 170°C.
When the chips reach pale gold, and the outside is firm, lift
the basket out of the oil, and let the chips drain and cool
