Time 27m

Yield 12-24 pieces of vegetables, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 2/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups ice cold water
1 1/2 teaspoons japanese ground red chili pepper
1/2 cup white flour (For pre-batter covering of vegetables)
oil, to cover 2-3 inches in a wok

Steps:

  • Prepare your vegetables, cut into fair size.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and whisk thoroughly.
  • Heat oil in a wok to 375°F, you will know because a wooden spoon dipped in the oil will sizzle.
  • Add just enough water to the batter so it's relatively thick but not too watery, you don't want to mix this into a smooth cream, you want it really chunky to add to the final texture.
  • Coat the vegetable pieces in flour, then dip into the batter, you want to ensure it is covered completely or oil will leak in and make it extremely greasy.
  • Deep fry in batches, until lightly golden brown and crispy (about 2-4 mins).
  • Drain and remove onto a plate with some kitchen paper.

These crisp Japanese-style treats are great for nibbles or a veggie main course.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Snack, Starter, Vegetable

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

100g (approx) each of a mix of firm vegetables, cut into bite-size pieces, such as aubergine, broccoli, courgette, mushrooms, red pepper and sweet potatoes
tempura batter (see below)
groundnut or sunflower oil, for deep frying
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp dry sherry
1 tbsp sugar
1 lemon, zest only

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2. Mix together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Make the batter (see right). Cover a baking tray with sheets of kitchen paper. Start to heat a deep-fat frying pan or large wok a third full of oil and have the frying basket, or slotted spoon to hand
  • When the oil reaches 190C dip some of the prepared veg briefly into the batter, shake off any excess, then lower straight into the hot oil. Don't crowd the frying basket. Fry for about 2 mins until light golden and crisp, then drain on kitchen paper.
  • Repeat with the remaining vegetables in batches, dipping into the batter just before you fry them and remember to let the oil heat back up to temperature between each batch. Keep the tempura warm in the oven, leaving the door slightly ajar so that they stay crisp. They are best served immediately on a warm plate with the sauce alongside for dipping.
