Method

Tempura Batter Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the ice-cold water while whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

Codfish Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Codfish

    Pat the codfish fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Cut the fillets into bite-sized pieces.

Garlic Mayo Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Garlic Mayo

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until smooth. Adjust salt to taste and set aside.

Frying the Codfish

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Codfish

    Dip each piece of the seasoned codfish into the tempura batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
