Vegetable Tempura Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and cut the assorted vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
- 2
Make the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Gradually add ice water, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 4
Fry the Vegetables
Dip the prepared vegetables into the tempura batter, allowing the excess to drip off, then carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- 5
Serve
Serve the vegetable tempura hot with soy sauce for dipping. Optionally, add grated daikon radish on the side.
