I saw on TV (I forgot which program...) that adding potato starch to flour makes fried foods crispy, so I simplified it. Now, I also use potato starch for making kakiage, and it turns out crispy.

Ingredients

  1. 1medium sweet potato
  2. 3 tablespoonsall-purpose flour
  3. 1 tablespoonpotato starch
  4. Vegetable oil for frying
  5. 1/4 cupwater (50 ml)
  6. Salt or bouillon, to taste (depending on what you're frying)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash the sweet potato, slice it into rounds, and soak in water to remove bitterness. Drain the sweet potato and coat with some extra flour.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine the flour and potato starch, then add 1/4 cup (50 ml) of water. Lightly mix with a fork until some flour remains visible.

  3. 3

    Add one-third of the sweet potato slices to the bowl and coat them evenly. Be careful not to overmix.

  4. 4

    Fry the coated sweet potato slices in a heated tempura pot until a bamboo skewer can easily pierce through.

  5. 5

    We enjoy eating this tempura at home.

  6. 6

    I also tried making it with eggplant, and it turned out delicious!

  7. 7

    On 11/10, I made smelt tempura too! It's crispy and easy to eat.

  8. 8

    On 2009.11/14, I tried frying pork wrapped with lots of cabbage, and the kids loved it!

  9. 9

    On 2010.05.4, I made burdock root tempura. I microwaved it for about 1 minute before frying. Adding 1/2 teaspoon of bouillon to the batter made it tasty!
