i have shared quite a few pakora recipes till now, but this recipe of chinese pakoda is totally my new favourite snack. as a matter of fact, i came to know about this recipe very recently in an indian restaurant near to sydney. initially, i was totally intrigued and amazed by the name and the colour of this pakoda. i could not resist and i had to try it without any doubt. and i was totally into it with its first byte. i could easily feel the ingredients used in it as it had a strong punch of chilli sauce, soy sauce and vinegar. in addition, it had a bright red colour in its appearance and it was obvious and had used red food colour for it.
it is a simple snack without many complications, yet some tips and suggestions to make chineese pakoda recipe perfect. firstly, the recipe is generally made with finely chopped cabbage and carrots. but you can add other veggies like capsicum, spring onion, broccoli and sweet corn. secondly, adding food colour is completely optional and can be skipped entirely. you can use beetroot juice for the same purpose. lastly, the recipe has to be served immediately once it is deep fried, otherwise, it may lose its crispiness. as a matter fact you can shallow fry or even bake it with oil spray on it.
