Ultimate Tempura Batter & Tentsuyu Dipping Sauce image

I got this recipe out of an authentic Japanese Cuisine book, I tried it because it was simple and seemed legit and it was WONDERFUL! My whole, non-cultural family loved it, even my brother who hardly eats anything (besides mac & cheese and McDonald's) said it was awesome! EDIT: Site editors added complementary sauce recipe on 10/4/21.

Time 35m

Yield 25-35 vegetable pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups ice water
1 3/4 cups flour, sifted
3 tablespoons dashi
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • In a large bowl place the egg yolks.
  • Add iced water gradually, stirring (preferably with hashi(chopsticks)) and blending well.
  • Add flour all at once, stir BRIEFLY; that is well enough to coat but leave the lumps and bumps!
  • To fry vegetables heat a large frying pan with a half-inch oil (or more if necessary) and heat on high.
  • Coat selected large vegetables in batter and fry for a minute or two on each side.
  • To make the tentsuyu sauce, mix all three ingredients and serve in small dipping bowls.
