Tempura Udon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Udon Noodles

    Cook udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Tempura Batter

    In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and ice water until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 170°C (340°F).

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp into the tempura batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Broth

    In a pot, heat the dashi broth over medium heat. Add soy sauce and mirin, stirring to combine.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    In serving bowls, divide the cooked udon noodles, pour the hot broth over the noodles, and top with shrimp tempura and sliced green onions.
