Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs 
  • 150ml sparkling mineral water, chilled 
  • 3/4 cup plain flour 
  • 1/3 cup cornflour 
  • 1 tbsp finely sliced kaffir lime leaf 
  • Sunflower oil, for deep-frying 
  • 500g skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1cm strips 
  • Baby Asian greens, to garnish 
  • 2 tsp honey 
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds 
  • Juice of 1 lime 
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil 
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce 
  • 2 tsp grated ginger 
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped 
  • 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves 
  • 2 red chillies, halved, seeds removed 
  • 1 garlic clove 
  • 2 coriander roots 
  • 2cm piece grated ginger 

Instructions

  1. To make the honey and soy sauce, stir all ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. To make the chilli sauce, pound chilli, garlic, coriander and ginger in a mortar and pestle. Add palm sugar, lime juice and fish sauce, stir and set aside.
  3. Place eggs in a bowl with mineral water and whisk gently to combine. Add flours and use chopsticks to mix until just combined - the batter should be quite lumpy. Gently stir in kaffir lime.
  4. Half-fill a deep-fryer or large heavy-based saucepan with oil and heat to 190°C. (If you don't have a deep-fryer thermometer, test a cube of bread - it will turn golden in 30 seconds when oil is hot enough.) Dip salmon in batter and fry in batches for 2-3 minutes until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towel.
  5. Place on a platter and sprinkle with salt. Garnish with baby Asian greens (if using) and serve with dipping sauces.
