Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Tempura Batter: Fill a large bowl with ice cubes. In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the flour and arrowroot powder. Place the smaller bowl over the ice bath to keep the batter cool. Gradually pour in the ice water, whisking gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are perfectly acceptable. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep-fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350-375°F (175-190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (Heating time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

Tempura-Fry the Vegetables: Working in batches, dip each vegetable piece into the tempura batter, ensuring it's lightly coated. Carefully lower the battered vegetables into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. (Frying time per batch: 2-3 minutes)

04

Step

Drain and Serve: Remove the tempura vegetables from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs. Place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

For an extra light and crispy tempura, use a combination of all-purpose flour and rice flour.
Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent throughout the frying process for best results.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a mixture of soy sauce, grated daikon radish, and ginger.

    I added a pinch of baking soda to the batter, and it made it even lighter and airier.

    I substituted rice flour for the all-purpose flour to make it gluten-free, and it worked perfectly!

    The instructions were easy to follow, and the tips were really helpful. I especially appreciated the suggestion to use sparkling water. Will definitely make this again!
