This is not a low fat dish because it is fried in oil. So I would only eat this once in a while on a special occasion.

Ingredients:

16 asparagus spears

3/4 cup flour

2 TBS cornstarch

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp ginger powder

2 tsp wasabi powder

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup beer

2 cups canola oil

Instructions: Mix cornstarch, flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, ginger, and wasabi in a bowl. Add water and beer and whisk until smooth. Transfer to a baking dish.

Heat oil in a large skillet. Dip asparagus spears in the batter, drop into oil and cook until lightly browned. Cook half the asparagus, then the other half. Drain on a paper towel.
