Directions

Step 1

Cut the kabocha into thin slices and slice the tofu into bite-sized pieces. Pat both dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the tempura flour with cold water to create a smooth batter. Ensure the batter remains cold.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan to 170°C. Test by dropping a bit of batter; it should sizzle and float.

Step 4

Dip kabocha, tofu, and shiso leaves in the batter, ensuring they’re well-coated. Fry in batches until golden brown.

Step 5

Remove the tempura from oil and drain on paper towels.

Step 6

Sprinkle with salt and pepper while still hot.

Step 7

Mix yuzu juice and soy sauce in a small bowl for dipping. Serve tempura hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
