Shin Dong-min's Crispy Dureup Tempura

A refined tempura made by marinating dureup, Korean angelica-tree shoots, in a katsuobushi-based suiji broth for deep umami before frying it in a light, crisp batter.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Because the dureup is marinated in suiji broth first, it stays pleasantly firm while carrying a deep umami flavor that keeps each bite lively.
  • Do not overmix the tempura batter. Using ice-cold or chilled water helps limit gluten development and gives the fritters a lighter Japanese-style texture.
  • A small pinch of fine salt works better than soy sauce here because it lets the natural aroma of the dureup come through clearly.

Recommended for

  • Anyone who enjoys crisp Japanese-style tempura and wants a more distinctive spring vegetable version.
  • Home cooks looking for a polished appetizer that pairs well with beer or a light drink.
