Light and Crispy Kakiage Tempura (Japanese Vegetable Fritters) | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

Kakiage is Japanese vegetable fritters, sometimes with seafood. Vegetable strips are the main ingredients. Leftover vegetables are okay! Vegan/Vegetarian people can use Kombu Dashi broth for the dipping sauce 👍

Using round aluminum foil molds, you can deep fry the vegetable strips with less batter coated. In this way Kakiage becomes very light and crispy 😋

You can serve it with rice or Udon noodles for example, as a side dish. Or, you can put on top of rice or Udon noodles to make a bowl dish. It is up to you 😉

Kakiage Tempura

I used Pink Deep Fryer by Fujihoro

Number of servings: 4 pieces of 8cm (3inch) Kakiage

Ingredients

--Tentsuyu (Tempura dipping sauce)
* 100ml Dashi broth (using packaged dashi powder saves time)
* 2 tbsp. Mirin (sweet Sake)
* 2 tbsp. soy sauce
vegetable oil for deep frying

Directions:
1. Cut aluminum foil about 30cm (12inch) long, fold it into quarters lengthwise. Make a ring then fold the ends together to make 8cm (3inch) circle. (please see the video)
2. Place the cut vegetables in a bowl. Add 1 tbsp. of all purpose flour from Tempura Batter, then coat evenly with your hands.
3. Tempura Batter: Mix ice-cold water and all purpose flour. Make sure to use ice-cold water not to activate the gluten. The batter should be lumpy, do not over-mix.
4. Add the vegetables then toss lightly.
5. Heat 5cm (2inches) of oil in a pan to 170C (340F). Place one or two aluminum foil rings (depending on the size of the pan), then put 1/4 of the vegetables in each ring little by little to form into circles. When the bottoms are cooked, remove the rings, flip them over and cook thoroughly until crisp golden. Then drain well. (Do not deep fry too many at once.)
6. Tentsuyu: In a pan, bring Dashi broth, Mirin, and soy sauce to a boil. You can also microwave until it comes to a boil. **
7. You can eat with salt, with Tentsuyu, or serve on top of rice with Tentsuyu to make Tendon (Tempura rice bowl), etc... it is up to you.

**For tentsuyu, you can use Yamasa's Konbu Tsuyu (3 times concentrated Konbu kelp seaweed soup stock). You just need to dilute it with hot water as directed on the package. This product is very convenient and it is available overseas!

I will show you easy and the best choices to make Tempura Moriawase 👍

I used Pink Deep Fryer by Fujihoro:

Quick Tip: How to Store / Reuse / Dispose of Deep Frying Oil:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRyoZ8bybSo

---------------------------------

Tempura Moriawase (Assorted Seafood and Vegetable Tempura)

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 30min
Number of servings: 4 or more

Ingredients
vegetables of your choice (Okra, Maitake mushrooms, Kabocha (Japanese squash), sweet corn kernels, grape tomatoes etc...)
seafood of your choice (prawns, fish, squid, etc...)
--Tempura Batter
* 1 cup ice water
* 1 cup (120g) all purpose flour
--Tentsuyu (tempura dipping sauce)
* 200ml dashi broth (using packaged dashi powder saves time)
* 4 tbsp. mirin (sweet sake)
* 4 tbsp. soy sauce
vegetable oil
grated daikon radish
salt and sudachi (or lemon) if desired

Directions:
1. Prepare vegetables and seafood before frying. I will explain how to for shrimps: Wash, peel (leave the tails) and devein the shrimps. Make 4-5 incisions (about 1/3 depth) in their stomach side to straighten them. Then cut off the tip of the tail and remove the water inside to avoid splatters when deep frying.
2. Tentsuyu: In a pan, bring dashi broth, mirin, and soy sauce to a boil.**
3. Tempura Batter: Beat an egg and add ice water to make them 200ml liquid. (Be sure to use ice water not to activate the gluten) Pour the mixture into a large bowl, sift flour in and mix lightly. The batter should be lumpy, do not over-mix.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 180~190C (340~350F).
5. Lightly dip the ingredients in the batter and fry them immediately until golden and crisp. Drain tempura on a rack or a sheet of clean paper towel. (Do not fry too many at once.)
6. Serve with tentsuyu and grated daikon radish. Or salt and sudachi (or lemon) is good, too!

Tempura is best served hot!

**For tentsuyu, you can use Yamasa's Konbu Tsuyu (3 times concentrated Konbu kelp seaweed soup stock). You just need to dilute it with hot water as directed on the package. This product is very convenient and it is available overseas!
