Vegetable Tempura

Tempura is a Japanese dish of seafood or vegetables that has been battered and deep-fried. If you're trying to make your own vegetable tempura at home, this is one easy recipe you should try.

You will need:

• 1 cup Flour
• ½ tsp Salt
• ½ tsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 cup Water 
• 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil 

    Mixed Veggies, any kind cut into serving portions (in this 

         photo I used onions, carrots, potatoes, eggplant, and  

         string beans)

    Oil for frying

Preparation:

Step 1: Combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Slowly 
        add the oil and water until smooth and creamy. Chill for 
        at least 15 minutes.

Step 2: Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Dip the vegetables in 
        the batter, then drop in the oil. Allow to cook for about 
        3 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper 
        towels.
