Green Bean and Asparagus Tempura image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 13m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup club soda
1 tablespoon sesame or peanut oil
12 medium asparagus stalks, trimmed
12 green beans, trimmed
1/2 cup soy sauce

Steps:

  • In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in enough vegetable oil to fill the pan about 1/3 of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer, inserted in the oil, reaches 375 degrees F. (If you dont have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 2 minutes.)
  • While the oil is heating, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add the club soda and sesame oil. Stir until just combined and still lumpy.
  • Dip the vegetables in the batter and fry, 3 or 4 at a time, until the batter is golden and crispy, about 60 to 70 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
  • Arrange the vegetables on a platter and serve the soy sauce alongside as a dipping sauce.

These were a bit too oily for my taste, but still tasty.

This is a great recipe for a party or potluck. The tempura can be made ahead of time and reheated.

The tempura was easy to make and turned out great. I served it with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and mirin.

This is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some green beans and asparagus that were about to go bad, and this recipe was a perfect way to use them up.

The tempura was delicious, but I found the batter to be a bit too thick. Next time I will try using less flour.

This recipe was easy to follow and resulted in delicious tempura. The only thing I would change is to use a little less oil for frying.

These veggie tempura were a hit with my family! The batter was light and crispy, and the vegetables were perfectly tender. We especially loved the asparagus, which had a slightly smoky flavor. Will definitely be making this again!
