EASY TEMPURA BATTER RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small bowl, sift the flour once or twice to remove any clumps and to make it light and soft. Set aside.
• In a separate medium bowl, gently beat egg until the yolk and egg whites are just barely incorporated.
• Combine the water and ice cubes in a cup. Using a strainer, strain the water (you should have 1 cup of ice-cold water) and add it to the bowl with the beaten egg. Make sure you do not actually add ice cubes to the tempura batter.
• Add the sifted flour into the bowl with the egg and water mixture and lightly combine the flour using chopsticks . Be careful not to overmix the batter; it should be a little lumpy.

AUNTIE'S FLAKY TEMPURA BATTER

Steps:

• Flatten the butterflied shrimp with the blade of a knife and fan out on a baking sheet. Sprinkle a little salt over the shrimp and separate the layers of fanned out shrimp by using waxed paper. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine cake flour, katakuriko, and baking powder and mix well. Set aside.
• Into a 2 cup measure, combine eggs, salt, sugar, and ajinomoto. Add several ice cubes to the mixture and fill with cold water to equal 2 cups volume of chilled egg mixture. Stir slightly, but don't melt all of the ice cubes yet.
• Pour the iced egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir slightly until lumps of undissolved flour mixture remain in batter.
• Place a frying pan over medium high heat. Fill frying pan with 1-inch of oil and heat. Grab a fistful of the batter and clench fist over frying pan. Rotate clenched fist over the hot oil to create a bed of laced, flaky batter in the hot oil. The bed of laced batter must be thick enough to lay the fanned shrimp on. Once the batter is cooked, about 1 to 2 minutes, and the batter is flaky and crispy, place the fanned shrimp meat on the crispy bed of batter. The shrimp should not sink through the bed of batter, but remain atop it as it deep-fries.
• Using a chopstick, break up the bed of flaky batter so that you can individually flip the shrimp in the frying pan so that the shrimp is below the batter in the oil. Cook until the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes.

TEMPURA VEGGIE PLATTER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Fill a large, high-walled skillet with 2 inches of canola oil. Heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set a wire rack on top.
• While the oil heats, make the tempura batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in the sparkling water until the batter just comes together, about 1 minute.
• Working in small batches, use tongs or a fork to dip the carrot sticks, asparagus, broccoli florets, and zucchini sticks in the batter until completely covered. Let any excess batter drip off, then transfer to the hot oil and fry, flipping occasionally, for 4-5 minutes, until the tempura is crispy and golden brown. Transfer to the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining vegetables.
• Serve tempura warm with Heluva Good!® Buttermilk Ranch Dip.

HOW TO MAKE CRISPY TEMPURA AT HOME RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the tempura batter: Sift the flour into a large bowl. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and water until lightly frothy. Add the flour in 3 additions, stirring with chopsticks just to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Prepare the shrimp: Trim the tails, then use your knife to scrape the dirt and water from the remaining tail shell. Cut small incisions crosswise on both the top and bottom of the shrimp. This will prevent the shrimp from curling up as it cooks. Do not cut too deep, or the shrimp will fall apart. Pat the shrimp dry between paper towels, then refrigerate until ready to fry.
• Prepare the eggplant: Trim the stem, then cut in half lengthwise. Leaving the top ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) intact, cut 5-6 ½-inch (¼ cm) thick slices down the length of the eggplant.
• Fry the kabocha squash: Fill a medium pot about halfway with oil. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 320°F (160°C).
• Coat the kabocha wedges lightly with flour, dusting off any excess. Dip the wedges in the tempura batter. Fry in the hot oil for 4-5 minutes, or until tender. Let any excess oil drip off, then transfer to a wire rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
• Fry the eggplant: Increase the oil temperature to 340°F (170°C).
• Coat the eggplant lightly with flour, dusting off any excess. Dip in the tempura batter. Fry in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes, or until tender. Transfer to the wire rack to drain.
• Fry the shrimp: Increase the oil temperature to 350°F (180°C).
• Lightly coat the shrimp with flour, dusting off any excess. Dip in the tempura batter. Add the shrimp to the hot oil. Dip your fingers into the tempura batter and drizzle over the shrimp. This will make them extra crunchy. Fry the shrimp for 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer to the wire rack to drain.
• Serve the tempura immediately with dipping sauce or seasoned salt alongside.
• Enjoy!
