Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup ice-cold water
  • Vegetables (e.g., sweet potatoes, bell peppers, zucchini)
  • Shrimp or fish (optional)
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  1. 1In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
  2. 2Gradually add the ice-cold water to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
  3. 3Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).
  4. 4Prepare the vegetables and seafood by cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
  5. 5Dip each piece of vegetable or seafood into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.
  6. 6Carefully place the battered items into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  7. 7Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. 8Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  9. 9Serve immediately with dipping sauce, such as tentsuyu (a mixture of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin).

Authentic Mexican Caesar Salad

Cultural Context

The Caesar salad, originally created in Tijuana, Mexico, is a beloved dish that combines crisp romaine with a rich, creamy dressing. It reflects the resourcefulness of its creator, Caesar Cardini, who used simple ingredients to create a flavorful meal. Today, variations abound, but the authentic version remains a staple in Mexican cuisine, celebrated for its balance of textures and flavors.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

anchovies

🥗Healthier: capers

💰Cheaper: canned sardines

Canned sardines provide a similar umami flavor at a lower cost.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is more affordable and neutral in flavor.

egg yolks

🥗Healthier: silken tofu

💰Cheaper: mayonnaise

Mayonnaise can mimic creaminess without raw eggs.

1

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly.

2

Tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.

3

In a small bowl, mash the anchovies and garlic together to form a paste.

4

Add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and egg yolks to the anchovy mixture and whisk until smooth.

5

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify the dressing.

6

Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste.

7

Pour the dressing over the romaine lettuce and toss to coat evenly.

8

Add croutons and grated Parmesan cheese, then toss gently to combine.

9
