If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine, then you've probably tried vegetable tempura at least once. This classic dish features a variety of vegetables that are coated in a light batter and deep-fried until crispy and golden brown. While it may seem intimidating to make at home, with a little practice and the right technique, you can create restaurant-quality tempura in your own kitchen.

Here's how to make vegetable tempura:

Ingredients:

  • Assorted vegetables (such as sweet potato, zucchini, eggplant, broccoli, and bell pepper)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup ice-cold water
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Add the ice-cold water to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix - the batter should be lumpy.

  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.

  5. Dip the vegetables into the batter, making sure they are fully coated.

  6. Carefully place the battered vegetables into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

  7. Remove the vegetables from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  8. Serve the vegetable tempura immediately with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
