Tempura Batter - Crunchy and Crispy Even Cold
- 200 ml Water
- 1 Egg
- 10 grams Salt
- 5 cubes Ice
- 65 grams Cake flour
- 65 grams Katakuriko
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- Combine the ingredients in a bowl and stir.
- Add all of the dry ingredients and mix.
- Do not thoroughly mix the egg.
- Heat the oil for deep frying at a slightly low temperature (160C).
- To cook thin ingredients, such as shiso leaves, lightly coat the back in flour, then dip in the batter and deep fry.
- Next, fry the starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, then chicken or other meats.
- When frying potatoes, start at a low temperature, then increase to a high temperature for a crispy finish.
- Next, at a high temperature, lightly coat the fish in flour, then the batter, then deep fry at a slightly high temperature.
- Seafood should be deep fried very quickly.
- These are the ingredients that need to be cooked quickly.
- As long as you don't wrap the tempura in plastic wrap, even shiso leaves remain nice and crispy.
- I recommend lightly reheating in an oven, not in the microwave.
- This will make them crispy.
