Tempura Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients and prepare the vegetables by slicing them into bite-sized pieces. Pat the shrimp and chicken dry with paper towels.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the ice water and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be lumpy; do not overmix.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Tempura
Dip the shrimp, chicken strips, and vegetable pieces into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Turn occasionally for even cooking.

Drain and Serve
Remove the tempura from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with soy sauce and wasabi.
