Around the World in 12 Dishes – Japan

Today in our culinary trip around the world we are off to Japan. In my quest to make Little S like more vegetables we decided to try vegetable tempura.

The children helped with the making of the batter and the cutting of the veg, but we kept them far away from the hot oil for safety reasons.

Ingredients

Carrots, courgette, red pepper

200ml iced water

75 g plain flour

1tbsp cornflour

500ml vegetable oil

Instructions

Whisk together the flour, iced water and cornflour.

Heat the oil in a pan, to test it’s hot enough drop a little batter in, if it sizzles and becomes crisp the oil is hot enough.

Drop the vegetables into the batter one by one, shake off any excess and then drop into the oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Serve with sweet chilli sauce.

    My son loves veggie tempura! His favorites are the green beans and the sweet potatoes. Actually, all three of us in the family like it. We really need to make it ourselves and save money! Thanks for sharing this.

    Great idea. I’m suffering from an overwhelming glut of courgettes in the garden right now so any ways of using them up are greatly appreciated!
