Use ice water for the batter. This is really important to prevent the batter from absorbing too much oil.
Tip 2: Batter (Tempura Batter Recipe)
Preparing the batter ahead of time is not recommended. It's good to make the batter right before frying tempura. Try not to over mix the batter and not to coat ingredients with the batter too much.
Tip 3: Frying Order
If you are frying both seafood and vegetables, fry vegetables first. Then fry seafood.
Tip 4: Oil Temperature
To check the temperature of frying oil drop a little of batter into the oil. If the batter comes up right away instead of sinking to the bottom of the pan, its higher than 360 degrees F. If the batter goes halfway to the bottom and comes up, its about 340-360 degrees F. This is said to be the right temperature to fry tempura.
Happy Tempura-ing~!
