Vegetable Tempura

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and slice the zucchini, carrot, bell pepper, mushrooms, and green beans into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Make the Tempura Batter

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Coat and Fry the Vegetables

    Dip the prepared vegetables into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Fry in the hot oil until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the vegetable tempura hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.
