Ingredients

125g Quorn Vegetarian Fillets (1 pack)
94g flour
½ tbsp Chinese five spice
½ tsp salt
125ml sparkling water
sunflower oil, for deep-frying
100g small courgettes, trimmed and halved lengthwise
50g green beans, trimmed
50g edible flowers
125ml mayonnaise
½ tbsp lime juice
½ tbsp chives, chopped
2 tsp wasabi paste
4 lime wedges, to serve

Method

Combine the flour, Chinese five spice, salt and sparkling water and whisk until slightly smooth but still a bit lumpy.
Heat the oil for deep-frying to 180°C.
Dip each piece of zucchini into the batter, allow the excess to drip off and gently place it into the warm oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp and drain on kitchen paper. Fry the zucchinis off in batches. Repeat the process with the green beans and edible flowers.
Cut each Quorn Vegetarian Fillet into 4 strips, dip the strips into the batter, allow the excess to drip off and fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.
Whisk the mayonnaise, lime juice, chives and wasabi together until smooth. Serve it alongside the warm fried vegetables with the lime wedges.

TIP: Edible flowers that are ideal to be fried in a tempura batter include organic snapdragons, nasturtiums, pansies and violas.
