Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 ounces unbleached cake flour
5 ounces white rice flour
1 1/2 quarts vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups cold seltzer water
1/2 cup vodka
5 to 6 ounces sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
Kosher salt
1/4 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
8 stems flat-leaf parsley
1/2 pound shrimp, 31 to 35 count, head and tail-on, peeled and deveined
1/2 pound tilapia fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
Ice

Steps:

  • Whisk the cake flour and rice flour together in a medium glass bowl and divide it in half. Set aside.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven over high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Once the temperature reaches 365 degrees F, whisk the egg, seltzer water and vodka, in a medium mixing bowl and divide it in half. Put half of the mixture in the refrigerator to reserve. Pour half of the liquid mixture into half of the dry mixture and whisk to combine, about 10 to 15 seconds. Some lumps may remain. Set the glass bowl in a larger bowl lined with ice.

Fry 6 to 8 pieces, at a time, until puffy and very light golden, about 1 to 2 minutes Remove to a cooling rack lined with 3 layers of paper towels set over a half sheet pan. Sprinkle with salt, if desired. Repeat the same dipping and frying procedure with the green beans and parsley leaves. Put the fried vegetables on a serving platter and serve the as an appetizer while preparing the seafood.

Provided by Rie McClenny

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup cake flour, sifted, plus more for dusting
1 cup ice cold water
1 large egg, cold
4 jumbo shrimps, peeled and deveined, tail-on
2 japanese eggplants
canola oil, for frying
3 oz kabocha squash, sliced into wedges

Steps:

  • Make the tempura batter: Sift the flour into a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and water until lightly frothy. Add the flour in 3 additions, stirring with chopsticks just to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Prepare the shrimp: Trim the tails, then use your knife to scrape the dirt and water from the remaining tail shell. Cut small incisions crosswise on both the top and bottom of the shrimp. This will prevent the shrimp from curling up as it cooks. Do not cut too deep, or the shrimp will fall apart. Pat the shrimp dry between paper towels, then refrigerate until ready to fry.
  • Prepare the eggplant: Trim the stem, then cut in half lengthwise. Leaving the top ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) intact, cut 5-6 ½-inch (¼ cm) thick slices down the length of the eggplant.
  • Fry the kabocha squash: Fill a medium pot about halfway with oil. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 320°F (160°C).
  • Coat the kabocha wedges lightly with flour, dusting off any excess. Dip the wedges in the tempura batter. Fry in the hot oil for 4-5 minutes, or until tender. Let any excess oil drip off, then transfer to a wire rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
  • Fry the eggplant: Increase the oil temperature to 340°F (170°C).
  • Coat the eggplant lightly with flour, dusting off any excess. Dip in the tempura batter. Fry in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes, or until tender. Transfer to the wire rack to drain.
  • Fry the shrimp: Increase the oil temperature to 350°F (180°C).
  • Lightly coat the shrimp with flour, dusting off any excess. Dip in the tempura batter. Add the shrimp to the hot oil. Dip your fingers into the tempura batter and drizzle over the shrimp. This will make them extra crunchy. Fry the shrimp for 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer to the wire rack to drain.
  • Serve the tempura immediately with dipping sauce or seasoned salt alongside.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right tempura batter. For a light and crispy batter, use a mixture of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Add ice water to the batter just before frying to keep it cold and prevent the gluten from developing too much.
  • Use cold ingredients. Cold ingredients will help to keep the batter light and crispy. Make sure to chill the ice cream and the tempura batter before frying.
  • Fry the tempura in small batches. This will help to prevent the oil from getting too hot and the tempura from sticking together.
  • Do not overcrowd the frying pan. Overcrowding the pan will cause the oil temperature to drop and the tempura will not cook evenly.
  • Fry the tempura until it is golden brown and crispy. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the tempura immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Tempura ice cream is a unique and delicious dessert that is sure to impress your guests. By following the tips above, you can make perfect tempura ice cream at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
