Tempura
Other
Ingredients
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 daikon
- 1/3 cup dried shrimp
- 1 eggplant
- 1 onion
- 5 shrimp
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1-2 cup vegetable oil
Method
Many vegetables can be used for tempura. I have tried potato, okra, green bean, bell pepper, yam and carrot. For potato, yam and carrot, peel and slice into thin pieces, 1/8 of an inch thick. Dip into batter and deep fry.
For green bean and okra, dip in batter whole and deep fry.
Onion and dry shrimp is what you don't find in Japanese restaurant. It is really delicious. Slice onion into thin pieces and mix with batter and dried shrimp. Batter should just code the surface of onion but not soupy.
Tempura Sauce: Peel and grate daikon. Mix 1/4 cup of soy sauce with 2 tablespoons of water. Pour the sauce into a small sauce cup. Add 2 tablespoons of daikon.
