Cheese Curds
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the tempura batter mix with cold water. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature with a thermometer or by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- 3
Coat the Cheese Curds
Dip each sahwatch cheese curd into the tempura batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 4
Fry the Cheese Curds
Carefully drop the battered cheese curds into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried cheese curds with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with buffalo ranch dressing for dipping.
