AUNTIE'S FLAKY TEMPURA BATTER



Auntie's Flaky Tempura Batter image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds large shrimp, shelled, cleaned and butterflied
Kosher salt
2 cups cake flour
1 cup katakuriko or cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon ajinomoto
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Flatten the butterflied shrimp with the blade of a knife and fan out on a baking sheet. Sprinkle a little salt over the shrimp and separate the layers of fanned out shrimp by using waxed paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine cake flour, katakuriko, and baking powder and mix well. Set aside.
  • Into a 2 cup measure, combine eggs, salt, sugar, and ajinomoto. Add several ice cubes to the mixture and fill with cold water to equal 2 cups volume of chilled egg mixture. Stir slightly, but don't melt all of the ice cubes yet.
  • Pour the iced egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir slightly until lumps of undissolved flour mixture remain in batter.
  • Place a frying pan over medium high heat. Fill frying pan with 1-inch of oil and heat. Grab a fistful of the batter and clench fist over frying pan. Rotate clenched fist over the hot oil to create a bed of laced, flaky batter in the hot oil. The bed of laced batter must be thick enough to lay the fanned shrimp on. Once the batter is cooked, about 1 to 2 minutes, and the batter is flaky and crispy, place the fanned shrimp meat on the crispy bed of batter. The shrimp should not sink through the bed of batter, but remain atop it as it deep-fries.
  • Using a chopstick, break up the bed of flaky batter so that you can individually flip the shrimp in the frying pan so that the shrimp is below the batter in the oil. Cook until the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes.

VEGETABLE TEMPURA



Vegetable Tempura image

Use any combination of vegetables for tempura-the list is as long as the vegetables available at your market.

Provided by Tadashi Ono

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup dashi
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup mirin
8 ounces daikon, peeled thickly, so you can see the radish's translucent flesh
½-inch piece ginger (about 1 ounce), peeled
2 egg yolks
2 cups cold water
¼ cup ice cubes
2 cups cake flour
1 pound vegetables, sliced on an angle into bite-size pieces
½ cup cake flour
2 quarts vegetable oil
1⁄4 cup toasted sesame oil
Chopsticks, a metal strainer, candy thermometer, and a Dutch oven or large cast-iron skillet

Steps:

  • Combine the dashi, soy sauce, and mirin in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat. As soon as the dipping sauce comes to a boil, turn off the heat.
  • Combine the yolks and water in a bowl, mixing until they're incorporated, then add the ice cubes (the "wet" part of the batter). In another bowl or container, add the flour (the "dry" part of the batter).
  • When you're almost ready to cook the tempura, reheat dipping sauce over low heat. Grate the daikon on the coarsest side of a box grater. Squeeze out excess liquid and set aside. Grate the ginger finely and set aside. Keep the sauce warm while you prepare a tempura cooking station.
  • To prepare a tempura cooking station, beside your burner, arrange the vegetables, a plate with the ½ cup of cake flour, and the wet and dry parts of the batter. Also, ready a tray lined with paper towels or newspaper to absorb the excess oil from the cooked vegetables, and the tools you'll need: chopsticks, a metal strainer, and a candy thermometer, if you have one. Place a cooking vessel on the burner; use one with a uniform size to heat oil evenly, like a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven (don't use a wok). Add the vegetable oil and sesame oil.
  • Heat the oil to 360°F over high heat. When the oil has reached 360°F, prepare to cook the vegetables in batches. Be careful not to overfill the skillet, which will lower the cooking temperature; use, at most, half of the surface area of the oil to cook. While the tempura is cooking, check the oil temperature with a candy thermometer. Regulate the heat to maintain a constant 360°F oil temperature. If the oil is too hot, the tempura will burn; if too low, the tempura will come out soggy and greasy.
  • When you're ready to cook the tempura, quickly add the flour (the "dry") to the liquid (the "wet"), in one shot. Hold 4 chopsticks together, the tips pointed down, like you're grabbing a bottle. Stab at the batter with the chopsticks, mashing down again and again to combine the dry and wet parts. Do not stir; you barely want to mix the batter. Mix for about 30 seconds, or until the batter becomes loose and liquidy, with the consistency of heavy cream. It should be lumpy, with visible gobs of dry flour floating in the liquid, and with unmixed flour sticking to the sides of the bowl. Remember, if you overmix the batter, you'll ruin it.
  • Lightly dredge the vegetables in the reserved cake flour, then dip into the batter. Immediately lay the vegetables in the hot oil. Working in batches, deep-fry the harder vegetables like sweet potato, carrot, or lotus root first, for about 3 minutes, until the vegetables turn golden brown. Transfer the vegetables to the prepared tray to drain excess oil. Repeat with the other vegetables. Cook softer vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, and pumpkin for about 2 minutes. For shiso leaves, dredge only one side of the leaf with flour, and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Serve the vegetable tempura with the grated daikon and ginger on the side of the warmed dipping sauce. When you're ready to eat, add the daikon and ginger to the dipping sauce and dip the tempura into it.

HOW TO MAKE CRISPY TEMPURA AT HOME RECIPE BY TASTY



How To Make Crispy Tempura At Home Recipe by Tasty image

Rie teaches you all the tips and tricks you need to make perfect tempura at home every time. Try it with some of the classics as shown here, or swap in your own favorite vegetables and 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!

  • Use a light touch when coating the vegetables: A light touch will help the batter stick to the vegetables without weighing them down.
  • Fry the vegetables in hot oil: Hot oil will help the vegetables cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding the pan will cause the vegetables to steam instead of fry.
  • Serve the tempura immediately: Tempura is best served immediately after it is fried.
