Tempura Prawns
Sriracha Sauce
Avocado
Method
Prepare Tempura Prawns
- 1
Make Tempura Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the ice-cold water, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
- 2
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter in; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Fry Prawns
Dip each prawn into the tempura batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place in the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Prepare Sriracha Sauce
- 4
Mix Sriracha Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the sriracha sauce, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Adjust the spiciness by adding more sriracha if desired.
