Tempura | Mixed Vegetable Tempura
Tempura is one of my all time favourite appetizer. It is a plain fried snack which i made using either vegetables or seafood. You can use this batter to make chicken too. Tempura batter is super light and crispy unlike regular deep fried dishes. It is best served piping hot with some dipping sauce. Traditionally it is served with some soy sauce or vinegar dipping sauce. But I like mine with aioli or mayonnaise. “Making Tempura can be little tricky. There are few main steps in making which gives you crispy all the time”. Here are the points which you have to keep in mind. 1)Always keep the batter super cold. you can even add some ice cubes into the batter. 2)Don’t over mix the batter. The batter can be lumpy. Lumpy batter results in lighter crisp. 3)Always dry the vegetables in paper towel before coating in cornstarch which keeps crisp texture. 4)Cut vegetables in a way that there is more surface area. So you get crisp texture. 5)Don’t over crowd the oil, else it won’t fry properly. 6)Drain the tempura well so it doesn’t get soggy. It is best to drain it in a wire rack. I SERVED WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE. Pin
