It's as simple as it sounds: tempura asparagus, deep-fried to a golden crisp. Goes great with ranch and is great for a get-together.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

vegetable oil for frying
1 cup tempura mix (such as Kikkoman®)
¾ cup ice-cold water
1 pound asparagus
2 teaspoons sea salt

Steps:

  • Heat 1 to 2 inches of oil in a saucepan or deep fryer over medium-high heat.
  • Stir tempura mix and water together to make a loose batter.
  • Cut tough ends from the bottom of the asparagus spears. Dip into the batter, making sure spears are evenly coated.
  • Carefully add 5 to 6 asparagus spears to the hot oil. Fry until they float to the top, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain on paper towels and season with sea salt. Repeat with remaining asparagus.
