Tempura Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tempura Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Gradually add ice water while whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Tofu and Cabbage

    Dip the napa cabbage wedges and tofu cubes into the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Vegan Creamy Spicy Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together vegan mayo, sriracha sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt to taste until well combined.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the crispy tempura tofu and cabbage on a serving plate and serve with the vegan creamy spicy sauce on the side.
