Tempura Batter and Vegetables
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ice-cold water and egg yolk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not over-mix; the batter should be lumpy.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 3
Prepare the Vegetables and Shrimp
While the oil is heating, prepare your vegetables by slicing them into thin pieces. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
- 4
Fry the Tempura
Once the oil is hot, dip the prepared vegetables and shrimp into the tempura batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the tempura from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with dipping sauce of your choice.
