Tempura is an extremely easy dish to make, little effort with amazing results. In this recipe I added a number of commonly used ingredients to deep fry. Choose your favourite meat, vegetables, seafood or fish to deep fry. Of course fresh produce will always taste better but you can use frozen as well. The dipping sauce recipe I found on the Jamie Oliver website.

Steps

20 mins

1

Mix the sauce ingredients all together in a bowl and set aside until needed.
2

Beat the egg with the icy cold water until light and fluffy.
3

Add the flour and bicarbonate of soda to the egg mixture. Mix quickly but do not over-beat.
4

While preparing the vegetables and meat, store the batter in the fridge.
5

You can use the tempura batter to coat most fish, seafood, meat or vegetables.
6

Cut your selected vegetables, fish or meat into bite sized pieces, a little larger than pop corn.
7

Make sure the pieces are dry before coating in batter. Coat pieces with a small amount of flour if needs be.
8

When ready to cook heat the deep fat fryer, coat the pieces with the batter and carefully drop straight into the oil as you go along.
9

Fry for 3-5 minutes. Once batter is golden brown remove from fryer and place cooked pieces on kitchen roll.
10

Sprinkle with a pinch of salt as soon as removed from fryer.
11

Serve with the dipping sauce.
