- Dipping Sauce:
Instructions
-
Combine the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
-
In a small saucepan, add the dipping sauce and bring it to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and set it aside.
-
Prepare the vegetables by washing them thoroughly and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Make sure to remove any tough stems.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, egg and ice-cold water. Continue stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Dip the vegetable pieces into the batter, coating them evenly. Allow any excess batter to drip off before carefully placing them into the hot oil. Fry the vegetables in small batches to ensure they cook evenly.
-
Fry the vegetables until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the tempura from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining vegetables, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent.
-
Serve the vegetable tempura with the dipping sauce. Enjoy your homemade Vegetable Tempura!
