Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of fresh sweet basil
  • oil for deep frying

Directions

1

Heat 2 cups oil in wok until almost smoking and drop in handfuls of leaves so they turn brilliant green and crisp in seconds.

2

Lift onto paper towels with a slotted spoon.

3

Serve quickly, sprinkled over other dishes just before serving so the leaves don't have time to lose their crispness.

4

Or pass a bowl of them around on their own for a new sensation in flavour and texture.
