Tempura Batter and Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tempura Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Gradually add cold water while whisking until the batter is smooth. Add ice cubes to keep the batter cold.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bananas

    Peel the bananas and cut them into halves or thirds, depending on your preference. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pot, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F).

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Dip the shrimp into the tempura batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully drop them into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Fry the Bananas

    Dip the banana pieces into the batter and fry in the same hot oil until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the tempura shrimp and banana on a serving plate. Drizzle eel sauce on top and garnish with green seaweed.
