Prawn Tempura Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Put 250ml cold water in the freezer to become icy cold.
  • Prepare the prawns by removing their heads and shells;
  • leave the tails on.
  • Run a sharp knife down the back of each prawn and rinse,
  • pulling away the dark cord. Pat dry and keep chilled.
  • Gently simmer all the ingredients for the dipping sauce in a small pan for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • Half-fill a large saucepan or wok with vegetable oil and sesame oil; heat to 180°C (or until a cube of bread turns golden in 30 seconds). When it’s ready, prepare the batter. Break the egg into a bowl, then whisk in the iced water. Add the flour and mix roughly with a chopstick to create a lumpy mixture with pockets of flour. Take a prawn by its tail, dust in flour, dip in the batter, then drop into the oil. Repeat with the remaining prawns: fry in 2 batches for 3 minutes each, until golden. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with the sauce.
