I've been craving some homemade tempura but feeling a bit lost on where to start. Any tempura experts out there willing to share their foolproof recipe and tips? Thanks a bunch!

My go-to tempura recipe is simple: mix equal parts flour and cornstarch, add some ice water until it's a thin consistency, then dip your veggies or shrimp and fry until golden brown. Works every time!

For a crispy tempura, ensure your batter is ice-cold and your oil is hot. Pat dry your ingredients before dipping them in the batter to prevent sogginess! Enjoy your tempura adventure!

Here's a step-by-step guide to making tempura batter:

1. Start by sifting 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of cornstarch into a mixing bowl.
2. Add 1 cup of ice-cold water to the flour mixture.
3. Gently mix the ingredients together, being careful not to overmix. It's okay if there are lumps.
4. Optionally, you can add a splash of sparkling water to the batter for extra crispiness.
5. Your tempura batter is ready to use! Dip your ingredients (like shrimp, vegetables, or fish) into the batter and fry until golden brown.
6. Enjoy your crispy and delicious tempura!
