BASIC TEMPURA
a) Tempura is easy, but time consuming.
b) Prep and cook time will vary depending on what you cook and how much you are cooking.
c) It's not healthy for you! Make sparingly!
MEAT: (Boneless if available.)
Pork
Chicken
Beef
Shrimp
VEGETABLE:
Onions
White Potatoes
Sweet Potatoes
Eggplant
Seasonal selection
EQUIPMENT:
Deep pan for frying.
Trays to set food on to drain and cool.
Lots of newspaper or paper towels.
Tongs (or the alike)
Bowl of water.
Bowl of flour.
Tempura Batter:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2/3 cup ice water
Yellow food coloring (optional)
Prep:
1. Clean, cut, and store vegetables in water if prepared early. (Keeps potatoes from turning brown.)
2. Clean and cut meat into small pieces. (For shrimp you may have to remove shells and re-vein.)
3. Batter can be prepared ahead of time and kept in the fridge or right before cooking.
4. When ready to cook, begin warming up oil.
5. Form a production line.
Vegetables or meat --> bowl of water --> bowl of flour --> frying oil --> cooling try.
6. Start with vegetables. Dip in water, light rolling in flour, a generous dip in batter, and then in batter.
DO NOT DIP MEATS IN WATER!
Note: It is better to have meat that taste like vegetables, then vegetables that taste like meat.
7. Keep watching until items are crispy golden brown.
8. Remove and place on cooling tray.
9. Add more oil to pan if necessary.
NOTE: Cooking time will vary based on heat and amount of batter on coating and size/thickness of object. Experiment to see what fully cooks your meat without burning the crispy part.
Good Additions:
White rice or rice balls.
Soba noodles.
Miso soup.
Dipping Sauces.
Other Good Tips:
Cut vegetables in different ways, so you know what they are.
Place vegetables and meats on different trays.
ENJOY!!!

I asked originally in another guild, and used that as my base recipe. After trying it 3 times, the post how-to is my finding. It should be near fail-safe.

Sounds like a good recipe! When I went to EPCOT, I had some shrimp tempura. It was good. So I might try the recipe.

I always love it when I find sweet potatoes in my veggie tempura. They're my favorite.
