Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 cup water
Ice cubes (for chilling the water)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, sift the flour once or twice to remove any clumps and to make it light and soft. Set aside.
  • In a separate medium bowl, gently beat egg until the yolk and egg whites are just barely incorporated.
  • Combine the water and ice cubes in a cup. Using a strainer, strain the water (you should have 1 cup of ice-cold water) and add it to the bowl with the beaten egg. Make sure you do not actually add ice cubes to the tempura batter.
  • Add the sifted flour into the bowl with the egg and water mixture and lightly combine the flour using chopsticks . Be careful not to overmix the batter; it should be a little lumpy.

TEMPURA DIPPING SAUCE



Tempura Dipping Sauce image

The traditional Japanese dipping sauce for shrimp or vegetable tempura. This is the full-flavored version - unlike the thinner, watery, less robust sauce being served in some restaurants. Serve in small bowls at each setting. Optionally, provide grated fresh ginger and grated daikon to mix into sauce.

JAPANESE TEMPURA SAUCE

This recipe was given to me in Japan by Okumurasan. I don't know where to find sake or mirin here (maybe an asian market?) Okumurasan told me to just use 4 tsp sugar instead, however it won't taste quite the same. Sake and Mirin are both Japanese wines, and they add a distinct, sweet taste to the sauce.
