Tempura Batter and Fillings
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by preparing all the vegetables and shrimp. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure the batter adheres well.
- 2
Make the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and egg yolk. Gradually add the cold sparkling water while whisking gently until just combined. The batter should be lumpy.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Coat the Ingredients
Dip the prepared shrimp and vegetables into the tempura batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
- 5
Fry the Tempura
Carefully place the battered shrimp and vegetables into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve
Serve the shrimp and vegetable tempura immediately with dipping sauce, if desired.
