I give  the recipe to make a crunchy tempura, We did shrimps accompanied with a delicious sweet and sour sauce … of course the recipe for tempura can also be used for frying vegetables, zucchini, eggplant, etc..

And now … LIGHT THE  FIRES!

INGREDIENTS:

 120g flour 00

- 30g cornstarch (cornflour)

-1 Egg

- 160g of ice water and sparkling

- 40g of rice flour (for dusting)

- 3 prawns

For the sauce:

- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

- 2-3 tablespoons of rice vinegar

A thimbleful of water-

- A bit of soy sauce

- A bit of Mirin (wine scented)

WEAR THE APRON, WASH YOUR HANDS, BEGIN!

 Remove the head and shell shrimp, remove the  black  fillet after moving  a little bit the tail, you will see that it will come off in full, beat well the egg, mix the flour with the cornstarch, then add the water and egg. Pass the shrimp in the batter and then sprinkle with the rice flour, fry in peanut oil at 170 degrees. Drain and season with salt.

For the sauce: put in a saucepan, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, a little drop of water, a bit of soy sauce, and a bit of Mirin, keep the fire until it is completely melted sugar.

Et voila … a fried crispy on!
