  • 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour (Gluten-free option available)
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch (Arrowroot starch can be used)
  • 2 large Eggs (Can substitute with flaxseed meal and water)
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (For a crunchy texture)
  • 1 cup Sweetened Shredded Coconut (Unsweetened can be lighter)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Fresh minced garlic can be used)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Use sea or kosher salt)
  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil (For frying, or use canola/peanut oil)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (Chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dipping Sauce: In a saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 2 minutes. Strain and set the sauce aside.
  2. Setup Breading Station: Arrange three shallow bowls: one with a flour and cornstarch mix, the next with whisked eggs, and the last with a combination of panko breadcrumbs and shredded coconut.
