Tempura




              Tempura





Tempura is a popular Japanese dish that consists of battered and deep-fried seafood, vegetables, or other ingredients. It is known for its light, crispy texture and is often served as an appetizer, side dish, or even as a topping for certain dishes like tempura udon or tempura-don (tempura over rice). 

Ingredients



  • Flour: a cup (versatile)
  • Egg white: 2 pcs
  • Cold water: a third of a cup
         For shrimp:
  • Shrimp: 500 grams (peeled and cleaned)
  • Cornstarch: 2 tbsp
  • Vegetable oil: abundant (for frying)

Instructions


1. To prepare the tempura: Mix the two egg whites in a bowl, until it becomes buttery. Then, the flour is added, and cold water is gradually poured in, stirring with a wooden chopstick, until the ingredients are mixed. It is necessary not to exaggerate in stirring the ingredients, so it is okay for the flour to remain a bit lumpy.

2. To prepare the shrimp: Heat the oil in a frying pan, at 180°C.

3. Dip each shrimp in corn flour, then in tempura. And fry in hot oil for a minute or a minute and a half, noticing that the color of the shrimp has become golden. Remove the roasted shrimp, and place in a serving dish, with the ready-made sweet chili sauce.
