Vegetable Tempura

Vegetable Tempura is a Japanese dish consisting of lightly battered, deep-fried vegetables. It is a popular dish in Japan, particularly in the Kansai region, and is served in many restaurants throughout the country. The vegetables are dipped in a simple batter made of wheat flour, eggs, and cold water before being fried in vegetable oil. The result is a crunchy, flavorful dish that is often served with a dipping sauce and garnished with grated daikon radish and parsley.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 cups assorted vegetables, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, carrots, and zucchini, cut into thin strips

Directions

  • Step 1
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda until combined.
  • Step 2
    Add the egg and cold water and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  • Step 3
    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Step 4
    Dip the vegetables into the batter and carefully place in the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until the tempura is golden brown.
  • Step 5
    Remove the tempura from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Serve immediately.
