Tempura Shrimp




Source of Recipe


Gardenguru---CF


TEMPURA BATTER

1 cup flour*
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder


Oil for deep-frying (I like 3 parts Wesson "Best blend" oil, 1 part peanut oil, and a good splash of sesame oil)

Mix flour, cornstarch, salt, sugar, and baking powder.

Add soda water gradually, stirring with a fork, first to create a paste and then until mixture is like a thick pancake batter.

Heat oil for frying to 375° F - 400° F.

Dip prepared veggies and meats in batter, coating completely. Shake off excess.

Fry vegetables and meats, a few pieces at a time, until light brown and crispy.

Do not crowd pan, or oil temperature will drop. No more than will cover ¾ of the surface of the oil.

Drain on paper towels.

* NOTE: I like 2 parts all-purpose flour to 1 part rice flour.

Delicate Tempura Sauce

3 Tbs soy sauce
2 Tbs orange juice
2 Tbs dry sherry or mirin (sweet rice wine)
1 Tbs finely chopped green onion
1 Tbs sugar
1 tsp sesame seed

Mix all ingredients.
