VEGETABLE TEMPURA



Vegetable Tempura image

Tempura batter is very handy and easy to make. You can use it with just about any vegetable, as long as they are cut thin enough so that the vegetable can just cook and soften in the same time as it takes for the batter to crisp. These can be eaten alone as a starter with a good sprinkle of rock salt, halves of lemon or lime and possibly some of the dips. The battered vegetables also make a nice side dish, especially with simply cooked meat or fish and a salad.

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

7 ounces plain flour
3 1/2 ounces corn flour
Ice-cold water, preferably soda or sparkling
3 pounds of assorted vegetables (see below)
Tempura Dipping Sauce:
1 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 handful cilantro, chopped
1 small chile, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add all the flour to a bowl. With the handle of a spoon, or a chopstick, mix, and stir in the ice-cold water until the mixture is slightly thicker than buttermilk consistency. Make a point of not mixing thoroughly, as tempura is renowned for lumps of flour.
  • Dip sliced vegetables (zucchini, onions, eggplants, carrots, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, string beans, broccoli, wild mushrooms, fresh herbs, and bok choy) any vegetables will work but these are the most commonly used) into the batter mixture and shake off any excess.
  • Deep fry vegetables in a wok or deep fat fryer (you can use a frying pan if you do not have anything else, you just need about 7cm/3 inches of clean oil) at 200C/400F/Gas 6 until the batter is light golden in color and crisp. (Any large amounts of hot oil in a kitchen, especially in woks which are not always that sturdy, scare me, please be careful and do not leave the pan unattended.) Turn the vegetables at intervals to ensure that both sides are cooked equally and then fish them out with a slotted spoon, shaking off any excess oil. Place them on kitchen paper towels and eat as soon as possible. The reason that I keep going on about eating them so quickly is because as your hot cooked vegetables cool down inside the batter they begin to steam, making them less crisp as time goes on. Good tempura should be crispy and is one of those things that should be made and cooked quickly and eaten straight away.
  • Pour the rice wine vinegar into a small bowl. Add the sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Taste for sweetness. Add cilantro, chile, and garlic and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and allow to sit for 10 minutes to 1 hour, for flavors to combine.;

VEGETABLE TEMPURA WITH SOY & DIPPING SAUCE



Vegetable tempura with soy & dipping sauce image

These crisp Japanese-style treats are great for nibbles or a veggie main course.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Snack, Starter, Vegetable

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

100g (approx) each of a mix of firm vegetables, cut into bite-size pieces, such as aubergine, broccoli, courgette, mushrooms, red pepper and sweet potatoes
tempura batter (see below)
groundnut or sunflower oil, for deep frying
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp dry sherry
1 tbsp sugar
1 lemon, zest only

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2. Mix together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Make the batter (see right). Cover a baking tray with sheets of kitchen paper. Start to heat a deep-fat frying pan or large wok a third full of oil and have the frying basket, or slotted spoon to hand
  • When the oil reaches 190C dip some of the prepared veg briefly into the batter, shake off any excess, then lower straight into the hot oil. Don't crowd the frying basket. Fry for about 2 mins until light golden and crisp, then drain on kitchen paper.
  • Repeat with the remaining vegetables in batches, dipping into the batter just before you fry them and remember to let the oil heat back up to temperature between each batch. Keep the tempura warm in the oven, leaving the door slightly ajar so that they stay crisp. They are best served immediately on a warm plate with the sauce alongside for dipping.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 32

2 medium red snapper or 2 medium sea bream
1/3 cup lime juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon lemongrass, fresh chopped finely
1/4 cup fresh coriander, chopped coarsely
1/4 cup parsley, chopped coarsely
3/4 cup tahini paste
3/4 cup water
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1 egg, beaten lightly
1 cup plain flour
1 cup cornflour
2 cups iced soda water
1 carrot, slice pieces off with a vegetable peeler
1 small red capsicum, seeded cut into squares
1 onion, cut into wedges
8 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and halved
8 -10 stalks baby asparagus
2 sheets yaki nori (toasted seaweed)
1 small sweet potato, sliced thinly
20 g dried wheat noodles, cut in half for decoration
1 cup primary dashi (you can usually buy this instant from most Asian grocery stores and just prepare according to packet)
1/3 cup light soy sauce
1/3 cup mirin
3 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

  • I use 2 pans for the cooking 1 for each fish, I put the same amount of ingredients listed above per pan. By that I mean 1/3 cup lime per pan 1/2 cup wine per pan etc -- Or double up and eye ball dividing mixture evenly among pans.
  • Combine lime juice, wine, water, lemongrass, coriander and parsley in a bowl. Place fish in baking dish and pour mixture over, repeating for second pan.
  • Cover with foil and bake at 190c for 25-30 Min's until fish are tender and cooked through.
  • Tahini Sauce.
  • Blend or Process Tahini ingredients until just combined about a minute.
  • Transfer to a pan and heat until sauce thickens and is heated through.
  • To Serve pull skin back from one side of fish and using a fork pull fish meat off from top to bottom. You will find it flakes off real easy and you shouldn't end up with many bones in fish meat. Repeat to the other side, place fish meat neatly on plate and pour tahini sauce over. Serve with tempura vegetables with dipping sauce recipe below.
  • Vegetables.
  • You can use just about any mix of vegetables, above recipe is just a suggestion. This is also the same way to make seafood tempura you can also make this as a starter with a mixture of seafood and vegetables.
  • Cut seaweed into 5cm squares, halve the sheet and cut into 2cm-wide strips. Brush strips with water and wrap tightly around noodles in the middle, reserve noodle bunches.
  • Mix all the ingredients for the batter together, this should not be a smooth batter, but should have a few lumps of flour in it. It is best made just before beginning to deep fry. Always make with iced or chilled water and never leave batter to sit for to long before using.
  • Heat oil to moderately hot 170c in wok or deep pan. Dust chopped vegetables, except seaweed squares, lightly in flour. Dip seaweed squares and other ingredients into batter, drain excess batter, deep fry ingredients, in batches until golden. Drain on absorbent paper. Only fry small amounts at a time to allow for oil to come back to correct temperature before next batch is added.
  • Finally deep fry noodle bunches and serve as a garnish.
  • Combine all sauce ingredients stir to mix.
  • Serve tempura immediately with individual bowls of dipping sauce.
  • Recipe for Dashi.
  • If you can't get instant dashi here is a recipe for primary dashi. The recipe makes quite a lot but if you make Japanese often it will keep in the fridge for a few days and last in the freezer for a month but it will lose some of it's delicate flavour and aroma.
  • 15g dried kelp (konbu).
  • 1 litre cold water.
  • 15g large smoked dried bonito flakes (katsuobushi).
  • Wipe kelp with a damp cloth, cut into 3-4 large pieces. Place kelp in a large saucepan with water, cook uncovered, about 10 Min's or until just about to come to a boil.
  • Remove kelp, bring liquid to boil and add another 1/4 cup cold water along with bonito flakes, return just to a boil, remove from heat immediately.
  • Strain dashi through a muslin-lined sieve into another pan.

VEGAN VEGETABLE TEMPURA



Vegan Vegetable Tempura image

Categories     dinner, lunch

Time 3h30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the dipping sauce:
1/2 ounce dried kelp (kombu)
1 dried shiitake mushroom
1 tablespoon mirin (available in Asian markets and some supermarkets)
1 tablespoon light-colored soy sauce
1 tablespoon peeled, grated daikon
1/2 teaspoon peeled grated ginger
For the tempura:
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup sifted cake flour plus 2 tablespoons, plus 1/2 cup or as needed for dipping
Four to five 1/3-inch thick slices zucchini, ends trimmed
Four to five 1/3-inch thick slices slender Asian eggplant, ends trimmed
Four to five 1/4-inch thick slices yam, peeled or unpeeled, ends trimmed

Steps:

  • For the dipping sauce: Combine kelp and shiitake mushroom in a small bowl. Add 1 cup cold water and allow to soak for 3 hours. Strain and set the clear, amber liquid aside; discard kelp and mushroom. Pour mirin and light-colored soy sauce in a small pot over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Add 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid from the kelp and mushroom. Remove from heat, and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the daikon and ginger; set aside.
  • For the tempura: Pour oil into a large wok or pot so that the oil is two inches deep. Heat over medium-high heat until oil is 350 degrees. Set aside a baking sheet with a rack lined with paper towels, and a small long-handled fine-meshed strainer for removing excess fried batter.
  • Pour 1 cup ice-cold water into a medium bowl. Add 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour, and whisk to blend lightly. Place about 1/2 cup cake flour into another bowl. Dip each slice of vegetable into dry flour, shake off excess, and then dip each slice of vegetable into the batter.
  • Fry the vegetables in batches to be sure they are not crowded. Place 4 to 5 vegetable pieces in the oil and fry, turning once or twice, until golden and crisp, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Using the long-handled strainer, remove excess bits of fried batter to keep the oil clean. Transfer to the baking sheet to drain. Continue until all the vegetables are fried.
  • To serve, place a paper napkin in the center of a platter, and arrange the vegetables on the platter. Pour off excess moisture from grated daikon and grated ginger. Place daikon and ginger mixture in the center of the dipping sauce, arranged as a little pointed mound. Serve tempura with dipping sauce.
