Lightly dust the prepared vegetables with 1 tablespoon of flour. In a bowl, make the tempura batter by combining the flour, potato starch, and salt. Add the cold water and mix gently.
3

Combine the floured vegetables with the tempura batter. Heat oil to 350°F (180°C) and fry the mixture in batches until golden brown.
4

Serve on a plate. Enjoy as is, with ponzu sauce or grated daikon, or serve over rice or udon noodles. Have fun trying it different ways!
