Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
⅛ teaspoon dashi granules
1 ¾ cups chilled water
2 egg yolks
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 quart vegetable oil for deep frying
1 sweet potato, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
1 onion, sliced into half-rings
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed
¾ cup shiitake mushrooms

Steps:

  • Whisk light soy sauce, mirin, and dashi granules together in a bowl for the sauce; set aside.
  • Whisk water and egg yolks together in a bowl until well combined. Sift in flour and whisk until just combined; batter will be a bit lumpy.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a wok or a deep saucepan until very hot, but not smoking.
  • Dip sweet potato, onion, bell pepper, green beans, and shiitake mushrooms one by one into the batter and transfer immediately into the hot oil. Deep-fry tempura in batches, making sure to not overcrowd the wok, until batter is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat until all vegetables have been used. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
