Shrimp Tempura
A Japanese dish of battered and deep-fried shrimp, known for its light and crispy texture.
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- Slowly add the ice-cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, gently mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the shrimp completely.
- Dip each shrimp into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, and rice vinegar to make the dipping sauce.
- Serve the shrimp tempura immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
