Heat to 170\u2013180\u00b0C (or until a drop of batter sizzles on contact).<\/li>\n<li>Lightly coat the Marsh Samphire in a bit of flour. Then dip into the batter, shaking off any excess.<\/li>\n<li>Carefully place the Marsh Samphire into the hot oil and fry for 1\u20132 minutes until crisp and pale golden. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Drain on kitchen paper.<\/li>\n<li>Mix soy sauce, lime juice, and sweetener (if using). Add chilli flakes or grated ginger for a kick.<\/li>\n<li>Serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
