How to make the batter. Combine the egg and ice cold water. Lightly mix with sifted flour. Make sure not to over-mix,or else the batter becomes sticky and will not produce a crispy texture when deep-fried.

Preheat the frying oil in heavy-bottomed pan to 340-360°F　(170-180℃). Coat each ingredient with flour, dip in the batter, and then deep-fly until it feels lighter when lifted. Remove resides from the pan while deep-frying. Transfer the tempera to a wired rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
