Jang Ho-jun's Japanese Shrimp Tempura

Authentic Japanese-style snowflake shrimp tempura with an exceptionally crispy texture by inhibiting gluten formation

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Overmixing the batter develops gluten and makes the tempura soggy, so mix lightly, leaving lumps visible.
  • Removing the water sac from the shrimp tail prevents oil splattering during frying.
  • For beginners, make the batter slightly thinner than the recipe, give the shrimp a light first fry, then dip in batter again and fry a second time for a foolproof, voluminous, crispy result.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to successfully make Japanese restaurant-style snowflake shrimp tempura at home.
  • Beginner cooks who've struggled with tempura batter turning soggy quickly.
