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

With this amount of batter I can fry 6 shrimp, 200 g of kabocha squash, 6 shiitake mushrooms, 1 packet of maitake mushrooms, 150 g of bamboo shoot, and 1/2 an onion. That's a lot, so if you're just frying a small amoung you can use less than half the amount of batter!

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℃.
