Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • carrot 0.5 piece
  • sweet potato 1 piece
  • onion 0.5 piece
  • green onion 0.5 stalk
  • tempura flour 1.5 cups
  • water 1.5 cups
  • vegetable oil as needed

Recipe 🍳

  1. Thinly slice the carrot, sweet potato, onion, and green onion into uniform, thin strips.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1.5 cups tempura flour and 1.5 cups cold water in a 1:1 ratio, gently mixing until no dry flour remains.
  3. Add the sliced vegetables to the finished batter and toss thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated.
  4. Pour generous amounts of vegetable oil into a pan and heat until hot. Form the battered vegetables into manageable-sized portions and add them to the oil.
  5. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on both sides, then remove and drain excess oil.
  1. Slice all prepared vegetables into thin strips.
  2. Mix 1.5 cups tempura flour with 1.5 cups water to create a crispy batter.
  3. Toss the vegetables in the batter and fry in oil until golden and crisp.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Using ice-cold or chilled water when making the tempura batter results in a much crispier coating.
  • For even crispier texture, fry the vegetables once lightly, remove, then increase oil temperature and quickly fry again for a second time.
