Crispy and Light: Vegetable and Mushroom Tempura
Leftover veggies are perfect for making tempura. I made some with mine.
I recommend also chilling the bowl if making this in the summer time. This will make a crispy batter! I guarantee that it won't be pasty. Melt ice cubes and use only the water. Test the oil temperature by dropping batter. If it sinks to the bottom and floats up, it's about 160℃. Be careful not to deep fry too much at once, as the temperature will drop! This is key! Don't turn the fritters while the batter is still soft! Recipe by Kona kotobuki

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Slice the vegetables as shown. Carrots are best sliced into thin rectangular sticks! I recommend chilling all of the ingredients before deep frying.
- 2
Use only the water from the ice water. Use a chilled egg. Chill the bowl for extra measure! The liquid should measure 180 ml with the egg included, like this!
- 3
In a cup, add the chilled water to the ※ chilled egg so that it measures to 180 ml. Transfer to a bowl and add the ★ dry ingredients and mix briskly! The key is "briskly".
- 4
The oil should be between160-170°C! The large oil bubbles should become smaller and when you drop batter into it, if it comes out light and crisp, it's ready for frying!
- 5
Although it's a pain, always remove the tempura crumbs from the oil surface! Use a fine net skimmer! Save the tempura crumbs to sprinkle in miso soup or noodle dishes.
- 6
Deep fry the onion and shrimp last! Add a bit more flour at this stage, about 1 tablespoon! Use a spoon to drop the kakiage mixed tempura into the oil.
- 7
Transfer to rack to drain excess oil.
- 8
To make the dipping sauce, follow the instructions on the bottle! To make matcha salt, mix 1 teaspoon matcha and 2 teaspoons salt. It's done once you plate the tempura.

Crispy and Light Tempura Batter Crispy and Light Tempura Batter
I often see instructions like "Chill the water used for the batter in the refrigerator", but with that method the batter becomes lukewarm as you use it; plus it's a pain in the rear to chill the water before using it. If you use ice cubes you just have to drop them in the batter to keep it cool until the ends and it's easy! as long as you can master the batter, you can use any ingredients you like to fry in it.The batter is very floury, but it's OK! No one just fries the flour only, right? As long as you dip in 'liquid' instead of 'flour', as you dip more ingredients in the batter it will lose its flouriness. The key to crispy and light tempura is to not let the gluten in the flour develop and to maintain a temperature difference between the batter and the oil. The first requirement can be met by not over-mixing the batter. The second can be cleared by using ice to keep the batter very cold, and by using hot oil to increase the temperature difference. For plenty (haha). Recipe by satosayo

Crispy Tempura Crispy Tempura
Here's an easy recipe to make crispy tempura with mayonnaise. The emulsified oil in the mayonnaise disperses onto the coating and its moisture becomes easier to evaporate. That's why you get a more crispy result even if you follow your standard deep-fry routine for the tempura.Soaking the lotus root in water with a little vinegar gets rid of its bitterness and also makes them whiter. If you use cold water in the batter, it becomes even more crispy when deep-fried. Recipe by Kiyu-pi-mayone-zu. -

Gluten-Free Tempura Gluten-Free Tempura
Tempura is a popular Japanese dish that can be found in almost any Japanese restaurant. Various seafood and vegetables are lightly coated in batter and fried until crispy. However, the traditional batter is made of wheat flour which contains gluten.

I experimented with the proportions and came up with this recipe.The batch of batter that you get from the amounts listed will be more than you need, so you can also fry up 1-2 more ingredients (such as shrimp).
