INGREDIENTS
Batter
1 3/4 cup of water
2 1/2 cup of ice cubes
3 1/2 box of Batter Mix
* This can be found at "Safeway", "Wholefoods" (maybe at other supermarkets, too), Fort Myer commissary or Korean supermarkets like "H mart". You can make tempura batter with ice cold water, egg york and all purpose flour but I recommend this product. This is really easy and texture is much better than homemade batter.
4 If you want to vary your tempura, add 1 tablespoon of curry powder to the batter.
Vegetables --- as you like
I used asparagus and cauliflower today.
You might also like mushroom, okura, squash, onion and bell pepper.
Frying Oil --- Need 1 inch depth for asparagus. Use fresh vegetable oil.
*Add 1 to 2 tablespoon of sesame oil for greater flavor.
*Add 1 teaspoon of shortening (trans fat free) for crispier texture.
Seasoning --- salt
DIRECTIONS
Salt tempura before serve. Or serve with salt.
Curry version goes well with Parmesan cheese!
If you are OK with MSG, you could try other seasoning recipes on the box.
