Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a small bowl, sift the flour once or twice to remove any clumps and to make it light and soft. Set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, gently beat egg until the yolk and egg whites are just barely incorporated.
- Combine the water and ice cubes in a cup. Using a strainer, strain the water (you should have 1 cup of ice-cold water) and add it to the bowl with the beaten egg. Make sure you do not actually add ice cubes to the tempura batter.
- Add the sifted flour into the bowl with the egg and water mixture and lightly combine the flour using chopsticks . Be careful not to overmix the batter; it should be a little lumpy.

TEMPURA FRIED OKRA
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or deep fryer to 375 degrees F.
- Wash the okra, drain thoroughly and pat dry. Cut off the ends of the okra, and then cut the okra crosswise into 1/2-inch rounds.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper and set aside.
- Place the cornstarch in a small bowl.
- When the oil is hot, add the hot sauce and ice water to the spiced flour. Gently mix; there will be some small lumps.
- Skewer the okra pieces through the middle of the flesh, leaving enough room between each piece of okra so they can fry individually. Repeat with remaining okra. Dredge the skewers through the cornstarch. Place into the tempura batter and then immediately and carefully into the hot oil.
- Fry the okra in batches until browned, 4 to 6 minutes for each batch. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with the reserved salt and spice mixture and serve immediately with Spicy Ranch Dressing.
- Mince the garlic and then add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and mash with the edge of the knife until a paste is formed.
- Add this to a blender with the remaining ingredients. Puree and taste to adjust seasoning.
- Remove and place in a small bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Tips:
- For the best results, use ice-cold water when making the tempura batter. This will help to keep the batter light and crispy.
- Be sure to drain the vegetables well after they have been washed. This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
- Use a light hand when coating the vegetables in the batter. Too much batter will make them soggy.
- Fry the vegetables in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Drain the vegetables on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the tempura vegetables immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
