Ingredients
Dipping Sauce:
-
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
-
2 tablespoons mirin
-
⅛ teaspoon dashi granules
Batter:
-
1 ¾ cups chilled water
-
2 egg yolks
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 quart vegetable oil for deep frying
Vegetables:
-
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
Directions
-
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.
Editorial Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
