Pickled Fried Radish Shrimp Tempura
Method
Pickled Fried Radish Shrimp Tempura
- 1
Prepare the Radishes
Wash the radishes thoroughly. Cut off the tops and tails, then slice them thinly into rounds.
- 2
Pickle the Radishes
In a bowl, combine the sliced radishes with salt and rice vinegar. Toss well to combine. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.
- 3
Prepare the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and cold water. Whisk gently until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
- 5
Fry the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain the Shrimp
Remove the fried shrimp from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- 7
Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce and sesame oil. This will serve as a dipping sauce for the shrimp tempura.
- 8
Serve
Arrange the fried shrimp on a serving platter, garnish with pickled radishes and chopped green onions. Serve with the soy sauce mixture on the side for dipping.
