Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the sesame oil and soy sauce to the dry ingredients. (1 minute)

03

Step

Gently pour in the chilled club soda. Mix lightly with chopsticks or a fork until just combined. The batter should be loose and slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

05

Step

Dip the vegetables, one at a time, into the tempura batter, ensuring they are lightly coated.

06

Step

Carefully place the battered vegetables into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the fryer.

07

Step

Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the tempura is golden brown and crispy.

08

Step

Remove the tempura vegetables with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Ensure your vegetables are thoroughly dried before dipping them in the batter for optimal crispness.
Keep the club soda chilled until ready to use; cold liquids help create a lighter batter.
Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; fry in batches to maintain oil temperature and prevent soggy tempura.
For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce with grated ginger, or a sweet chili sauce.

    Easy to follow and delicious. I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter for a little kick.

  • Dax Muller

    I found the batter a little thin, so I added a tablespoon more of flour. It turned out great!

  • Reyna Olson

    I've tried other tempura recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The vegetables came out perfectly cooked and not greasy at all.
