Steps:
- Prepare shrimp by taking off shell and deveining.
- Make 4 slits down the stomach. Flip shrimp on the side and diagonally slice 4 more slits on each side. (This will keep the shrimp straight when cooked.)
- In a medium bowl, beat egg and soda water.
- Heat a pot of oil to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Then add cake flour and mix, but keep it clumpy. Do NOT over-mix.
- Dredge shrimp up to the tail and carefully place into frying oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until shrimp is fully cooked. Place tempura on paper towel to absorb oil or a wired rack to drain excess oil.
- For the dipping sauce, combine soy sauce and mirin. If using, dissolve dashi in the hot water and add to the soy sauce and mirin.
- Arrange assorted tempura on a bowl of rice.

TEMPURA BACON
....*WHAT?* Rest assured, you can tell yourself this is about the healthiest thing you could possibly eat. (Course, you can tell yourself you have 7 birch trees growing out of your left eyeball if you want - It's not like I'm gonna argue.) ;) The measurements and yield here are approximations as I stole this recipe (Bacontarian) and it didn't come with anything useful. The author serves this with soy sauce with garlic and red pepper flakes in it. YOW!

Steps:
- Combine first 7 ingredients (through cayenne powder) and mix well.
- Fry bacon halfway to your liking.
- Heat about ½ inch of oil in large skillet to 350°F.
- Dust bacon and onion chunks with seasoned flour, shake off excess (I use a mesh colander) and place in heated oil, being careful not to crowd, which lowers the heat and allows too much oil to soak into what you're frying.
- Fry to your desired doneness - (This is so subjective, I'm going to leave it up to you) - golden brown works for me.
- Not just for breakfast, consider also using as a garnish for a steak or on a bed of warm, braised brussels sprouts tossed in garlic and mustard.
