π³ How to cook (4 servings):
Prepare the Ingredients
Clean and cut your choice of seafood (such as shrimp, squid, or fish fillets) and vegetables (like sweet potatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, and eggplant) into bite-sized pieces.
Make the Tempura Batter
In a bowl, combine 1 cup of cold water and 1 large egg. Beat lightly. Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and mix gently to maintain the batter's cold temperature. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat the Oil
Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or large pot to a depth of about 2 inches and heat it to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Dip and Fry
Dip the prepared seafood and vegetables into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per piece.
Drain and Serve
Remove the tempura from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with a dipping sauce such as tentsuyu (a mixture of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin) or simply with salt.
βοΈ Nutrition facts:
Tempura is relatively high in calories and fat due to the deep-frying process. Using a variety of vegetables can add fiber and vitamins to the dish. Opting for a lighter batter and seafood can help reduce the calorie intake.
