Tempura Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Vegetables and Shrimp
Wash and slice the zucchini, carrot, and bell pepper. Ensure the shrimp is peeled and deveined.
- 2
Make the Tempura Batter
In a bowl, mix the tempura flour with cold water. Add ice cubes to keep the batter cold. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- 4
Fry the Tempura
Dip the shrimp and vegetables into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Drain and Serve
Remove the tempura from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with tempura sauce.
