Crispy Tempura
By simply replacing the egg in the batter with mayonnaise, you can make tempura that is usually difficult to fry perfectly, without the batter becoming sticky, resulting in a light and crispy texture.The origin of this recipeThis is a secret recipe for making crispy tempura using Kewpie mayonnaise. The emulsified oil in the mayonnaise disperses in the batter, making the moisture in the batter evaporate more easily, so you can achieve a crispy finish just by frying as usual.

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
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. Therefore, if you have a gluten allergy as I do, it’s difficult to enjoy this dish.In this recipe, I will show you step-by-step on how to make gluten-free tempura at home, so you can enjoy the crispy tempura again. Not only is this recipe gluten-free, but it's also vegan because I don't use any egg in the batter.Instruction video: https://youtu.be/Rwy070Ly3kEGluten-free tempura sauce: https://youtu.be/rXIiPgge6FE

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

I had some corn tempura some time ago at an izakaya (Japanese gastropub), and I was amazed at how good it was!

If it looks like the fritters will fall apart when turning them over, user a spoon.Don't touch the fritters right after putting them in the frying oil. Turn them over after the surface has hardened.I used fresh corn this time, but you can make this with frozen corn as well. For 2 servings. Recipe by Riirin no ouchi recipe

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
