Crispy with Shiso Leaves Tender Chicken Tempura
The chicken tempura I had at an udon shop was so delicious, and nicely seasoned with salt...
I deep fried them together with my favorite shiso leaves.
■ The key is in cutting the chicken breast meat.
■ For small chicken breast cuts, be sure to reduce the amount of salt. ■ For even more tender breast meat, let the chicken soak in plenty of sake overnight. Recipe by Anchomai

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Remove the skin and white fat from the chicken breast meat. Diagonally slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces against the direction of the fiber.
- 2
Put the chicken and the ★ ingredients in a dish, massage in the seasonings, then marinate for half a day. (Tip: The sake gets completely absorbed into the meat if you let it marinate overnight.)
- 3
Chop off the stem of the shiso leaves, then cut the leaves into halves. (To make 40 pieces in total.)
- 4
Prepare the tempura batter as per the instructions on the tempura flour package. Place the shiso leaves on one side of each of the pieces of chicken, and dip them into the batter with your hands.
- 5
Gently deep fry in 160°C oil until crispy. Keep the oil at a low temperature since heating the chicken meat at a high temperature will make the meat tough!
- 6
By keeping a thin layer of tempura batter over the shiso leaf, the green color will show through and add a nice visual touch.
- 7
Since they also taste good cold, they make a perfect obento item. I put them on top of rice covered with a layer of nori seaweed.
- 8
Serve it with lemon in your obento.

Toriten Chicken Tempura Toriten Chicken Tempura
When I was trying out recipes for Chinese-style fried chicken, I thought it would work as tempura too.The pre-flavoring of the chicken was already set, so I worked on the batter.There will be some batter left over, so you can use up 2 breasts at once. You can fry wiener sausages or shiso leaves in the batter too. I recommend eating it fresh as the crisp exterior doesn't last well.I used tubed ginger, but use fresh grated ginger if available. For 2 servings: 8 pieces. Recipe by Iku..

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. -

Crispy and Light: Vegetable and Mushroom Tempura 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
