Tempura Shishito Peppers

Roasted Garlic Aioli

Method

Tempura Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add the cold sparkling water, mixing until just combined. The batter should be lumpy and not over-mixed.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the peppers

    Dip each shishito pepper into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered peppers into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Roasted Garlic Aioli Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the aioli

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, roasted garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

Yukari Salt Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix Yukari Salt

    In a small bowl, combine the yukari and salt. Mix well.
