Directions

Step 1

Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving tails on. Pat them dry using paper towels.

Step 2

Cut carrot and zucchini into thin sticks or slices about 2-3 inches long.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and cold water until frothy.

Step 4

Add flour, cornstarch, and baking powder into the egg mixture. Stir briefly—do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy and cold.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

Step 6

Dip shrimp one by one into the batter and carefully place in hot oil.

Step 7

Fry until golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side.

Step 8

Remove shrimp using a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.

Step 9

Repeat the frying process for the vegetables, frying each type separately for even cooking.

Step 10

Prepare dipping sauce by mixing soy sauce with a bit of water and a touch of sugar if desired.

Step 11

Serve the tempura hot with dipping sauce on the side. Garnish with grated daikon if available.
