Vegetable Tempura Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the ice water, whisking until a smooth batter forms.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Vegetables

    Dip each vegetable piece into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the tempura from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
