Ingredient ! 1 cup flour. half teaspoon salt. half teaspoon . sugar. 1 teaspoon . baking powder. 1 cup water. 3 tablespoon vegetable oil. Oil for frying (use vegetable oil or another high-heat oil such as corn oil or canola oil). Chopped mixed veggies, any kind.
preparation ! First, prepare your vegetables so they are ready to go. You’ll need about 2-3 cups vegetables, chopped to be about bite-sized. Lightly steamed sweet potatoes and yams are also a great option in a vegetarian tempura. Next, once your vegetables are prepared, combine together the flour, salt, sugar and the baking powder. Slowly add in the oil and water until the mixture becomes fully smooth and creamy. Chill for at least 15 minutes. When you’re ready to cook your tempura, heat several inches of vegetable oil in a wok or in a large frying pan over high heat. Dip the vegetables in the batter, then drop in the oil.
Allow to cook for about 3 minutes, until crisp and lightly golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
