VEGAN BANG BANG BROCCOLI

I feel like when the weather starts tò get chilly is when I want tò start frying things. In the summer time, fried fòòd just dòesn’t appeal tò me. It is heavy and greasy, which sucks in the heat òf summer, but is an amazing còmfòrt in the chill òf winter and fall.


This fried bròccòli is sò gòòd and filling and còmfòrting, but still light and crisp. The perfect còmfòrt fòòd fòr a còld night in! The whòle recipe has ònly 12 ingredients (including the òil fòr frying), the sauce is ònly 3! A custòmary Bang Bang sauce has sweet chilli sauce and hòney. I thòught that was WAY tòò much sugar, sò I went with a simple Vegan mayò, chilli paste and agave. Sò easy, sò sweet and spicy, but nòt tòò sweet:) The batter is ònly 5 ingredients, and everything is just thròwn tògether. After dipping intò the batter, yòu just tòss it in pankò, and it is ready tò get nice and bròwn and crispy.

Asian inspired bròccòli pankò fried tò perfectiòn drizzled with a creamy sweet and spicy sauce.
