We have Vegetable Tempura on the weekends occasionally when I feel like something healthy (but not so healthy at the same time) and this really fits that bill.  With some sweet chilli dipping sauce it’s a lovely sometimes food, for both kids and grown ups alike.

Choose the vegetables that you like from the list below and slice finely.

Vegetable Options:

  • medium sized zucchinis sliced thinly
  • eggplant
  • carrots
  • red onion
  • capsicum
  • broccoli
  • beans

Method

  1. Cut the vegetables into long thin strips. Set aside.

  2. Whisk together the plain flour, egg and iced water.

  3. Heat vegetable oil on stovetop and very carefully check the heat by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil. If the batter sizzles, cooks and starts to float, the oil is hot enough.

  4. Dip the vegetables in the batter mix, and transfer quickly to the oil.

  5. When batter turns golden brown and vegetable starts to float, use a pair of tongs or a steel strainer ladle to remove the tempura from the oil.

  6. Drain on paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
