Vegetable Tempura Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and slice the zucchini, carrot, bell pepper, and green beans into bite-sized pieces.
- 2
Make the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Gradually add ice-cold water, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Vegetables
Dip each vegetable piece into the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, then carefully place in the hot oil. Fry in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the tempura from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
