Extra Crispy Tempura Platter
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
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 sweet potato, thinly sliced
- 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
- Vegetable oil for frying
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.
- Add 1 cup of ice-cold water to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are lumps in the batter.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 egg and gently fold it into the batter mixture. The batter should be slightly lumpy and not too thick.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Dip the shrimp, sweet potato slices, and zucchini slices into the batter, making sure they are fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered ingredients into the hot oil and fry in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until the tempura is golden and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the tempura from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the extra crispy tempura platter with soy sauce or tempura dipping sauce. Enjoy!
