    Method

    1. 1

      Cut the squash into thin crescents and make sure both it and the beans are dry. Heat the neutral oil in a deep, heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).

    2. 2

      Mix the flour and cornstarch. Set aside a spoonful for dusting, then stir the cold sparkling water into the rest just until combined.

    3. 3

      Dust the vegetables with the reserved flour, dip in the batter and fry in small batches for 2 to 4 minutes, until crisp and tender.

    4. 4

      Drain on a rack and finish with a few drops of sesame oil.
