Fry the Vegetables and Tofu
Dip each piece of vegetable and tofu into the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
