Cooking Tips & Recipes
Traditional Japanese tempura shrimp are coated in crispy tempura crumbs, creating a nice crisp exterior without hiding the shrimp in a puff of oil-soaked batter.
- Keep ingredients cold (flour, egg, water)
- Do not overmix batter. Lumps are okay. (reduce gluten formation)
- Fry immediately after mixing batter and dipping shrimp. (reduce gluten formation)
- Maintain steady oil temperature by allowing oil to reheat between batches and not overcrowding the pan–just half of the oil surface should be used for product.
