Tempura

MizzNezz's Note:

This is a great party dish. Everyone can pick their favorite. Fun and delicious. Sometimes I even add fruit pieces.

• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 3 egg yolks
• 2 cups very cold water
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• oil (for frying)

Directions:

1. Assorted seafood and vegetables (I like scallops, shrimp, small halibut pieces, mushrooms, cauliflower florets, small sweet potato slices, etc), use your favorite Heat oil to 375*.
2. Combine yolks with water; mix well.
3. Gradually stir in the flour; stir from the bottom of the bowl, gently.
4. Do not overstir, this is the secret of a light batter.
5. Some flour will still float on top of the batter.
6. Pat seafood and veggies dry.
7. Dip pieces in batter, let drain a little.
8. Drop a few pieces at a time into hot oil; fry for only a minute or two, till golden.
9. Drain on paper toweling.

This was lovely and easy, with the only difference being that I would add salt to the recipe, as I had to add quite a bit for the great flavour we had in the end. Thanks for a lovely recipe!
