Tempura Batter and Garlic
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife. Set aside.
- 2
Make the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the ice water while whisking until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Garlic
Dip the prepared garlic cloves into the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried garlic from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot as a delicious appetizer or snack.
