Jung Ho-young's Squid Tempura

A Japanese-style squid tempura with a crisp exterior and tender, chewy interior, where the batter stays perfectly intact.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Thoroughly removing moisture from the squid prevents oil splatter during frying.
  • Avoid seasoning the squid beforehand, as osmotic pressure will draw out moisture and make the batter soggy.
  • Do not stir immediately after placing the squid in oil—wait until the outer layer sets and rises to the surface.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to successfully recreate restaurant-quality crispy and tender tempura at home.
  • People who have struggled with batter peeling off during frying.
  • Those looking for a rich, delicious late-night snack that pairs perfectly with cold beer.
