Notes
Adding items to fry oil reduces its temperature, which will result in soggy, oily items. Always fry in small batches to keep the oil temperature even.
Use a candy or deep fry thermometer to check the temperature before frying. If you don’t have one, insert a wooden spoon into the hot oil so it touches the bottom of the pan. If bubbles form around the spoon immediately, you are ready to fry. Reduce the heat immediately if the oil starts smoking.
The citrus-herb vinaigrette can be used as a dip or drizzle, but you can get creative and use you favorite plant-forward prepared variety or make your own.
The cucumber holder offers a unique and fun way to serve. Check out the video for instructions on how to cut the cuke just right for serving.
