Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup ice-cold water
- Assorted vegetables (such as bell peppers, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and onions)
- Assorted seafood (such as shrimp, squid, and fish fillets)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Tempura dipping sauce
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add 1 cup of ice-cold water to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. It's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (180°C). The oil should be at least 2 inches deep.
- Dip the assorted vegetables and seafood into the tempura batter, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Carefully place the battered vegetables and seafood into the hot oil and fry in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the tempura from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the tempura platter with tempura dipping sauce and enjoy immediately.
Tempura platter is a beloved Japanese dish with a rich history dating back to the 16th century. Originating in the Nagasaki region, tempura was introduced by Portuguese missionaries and quickly became a staple in Japanese cuisine. The dish consists of lightly battered and deep-fried seafood, vegetables, and sometimes even fruits, resulting in a crispy and delicate texture. Today, tempura platters can be found in traditional Japanese restaurants worldwide, with renowned chefs perfecting the art of creating the lightest, crispiest batter. The key to an exceptional tempura platter lies in the freshness of the ingredients and the skillful technique of the chef. For the best tempura platter experience, visit renowned restaurants in Japan, such as those in Tokyo or Kyoto, where the dish is elevated to an art form. The most important elements of a perfect tempura platter are the quality of the batter, the freshness of the ingredients, and the precise cooking technique. While the traditional method of deep-frying in oil is the most common, some chefs also experiment with alternative cooking techniques, such as air frying, to achieve a healthier version of this classic dish.
