Tempura and Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Tempura Batter

    In a bowl, mix the tempura batter mix with ice-cold water until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.

  2. 2

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry Shrimp and Vegetables

    Dip the shrimp and vegetables into the tempura batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make Soy Sake Dipping Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the crispy shrimp and veggies with jasmine rice and the soy sake dipping sauce.
