Making tempura batter and deep frying
- Place water and mayonnaise in a mixing bowl
- Add flour and mix them all together but try not to stir too much. Creating gluten by overmixing causes oily, sticky, and soggy tempura.
- Heat enough oil to deep fry in a frying pan (or tempura pot if you have), to 180 degree celsius(356F)
- Dip each ingredient into the batter to coat individually then put them into the heated oil.
- When they are cooked, you can feel little vibrations to your hand when you pick up one with chopsticks.
- Take out the cooked ingredients onto a wired mesh rack with kitchen paper to remove and absorb excess oil.
Making the sauce
- place all sauce ingredients into a small sauce pan.
- bring them to boil and them simmer for a few minutes
- When the sauce is reduced and thickened, turn the heat off and set aside.
Assemble all together
- Serve rice in a large rice bowl
- place tempura on top of the rice
- Pour the sauce over the tempura and rice
Notes
- *cooking rice time is not included
- *Nutrition facts is indication only as it is difficult to calculate accurate amount of deep frying oil.
