VEGAN BANG BANG BROCCOLI

I feel like when the weather starts t� get chilly is when I want t� start frying things. In the summer time, fried f��d just d�esn�t appeal t� me. It is heavy and greasy, which sucks in the heat �f summer, but is an amazing c�mf�rt in the chill �f winter and fall.

This fried br�cc�li is s� g��d and filling and c�mf�rting, but still light and crisp. The perfect c�mf�rt f��d f�r a c�ld night in! The wh�le recipe has �nly 12 ingredients (including the �il f�r frying), the sauce is �nly 3! A cust�mary Bang Bang sauce has sweet chilli sauce and h�ney. I th�ught that was WAY t�� much sugar, s� I went with a simple Vegan may�, chilli paste and agave. S� easy, s� sweet and spicy, but n�t t�� sweet:) The batter is �nly 5 ingredients, and everything is just thr�wn t�gether. After dipping int� the batter, y�u just t�ss it in pank�, and it is ready t� get nice and br�wn and crispy.

Asian inspired br�cc�li pank� fried t� perfecti�n drizzled with a creamy sweet and spicy sauce.
