Vegetarian Planet Asparagus Wasabi Tempura image

This is from my favorite vegetarian cookbook, "Vegetarian Planet" by Didi Emmons. This tempura is light, flavorful, and I think, perfect. The original recipe is used with asparagus ... but this makes kickin' onion rings as well!

Time 26m

Yield 16 asparagus spears

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 asparagus spears, trimmed
3/4 cup unbleached flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 -2 teaspoon wasabi powder, to taste (for me, more is better!)
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup beer
2 cups vegetable oil, about

Steps:

  • Combine flour, cornstarch, salt, sugar, baking powder, ginger and wasabi powder.
  • Add water and beer to the flour mixture; whisk slowly until smooth.
  • In a saucepan or skillet at least 8 inches in diameter, heat oil over medium high heat.
  • Test oil by dropping in 1/2 teaspoon of batter.
  • If it bubbles and fizzes right away, oil is hot enough.
  • Dip an asparagus spear into the batter, then carefully into the hot oil.
  • Add 7 more, and fry them all 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove them to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Repeat with remaining 8 asparagus spears.
  • Serve immediately.

The asparagus tempura was good, but I think it would have been better if I had used a different dipping sauce. The wasabi mayonnaise sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste.

This recipe was a disaster! The tempura batter was too thick and the asparagus was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tempura batter was a bit too thick. The asparagus was still good though.
