Welcome to the Autumn Anime Attacks news bulletin!
Recipe of the Month
Vegetable Tempura with Soy Dipping Sauce
Tempura is a crisp batter, which originates from Portuguese settlers in Japan and has become a part of Japanese culture. It is great for battering fish, shellfish and vegetables.
Serves 4
Ingredients
100g each Vegetables: aubergine, broccoli, courgette, mushrooms, red pepper and cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces
Tempura batter receipe
85g plain flour
1 tbsp cornflour
½ tsp ground sea salt
200ml ice cold sparkling water (plus about 4 ice cubes)
Dipping sauce
To serve - sweet chilli sauce
vegetable oil for deep frying
Method
1. Cover a baking tray with sheets of kitchen paper. Heat the oil in a deep fat fryer or deep wok filled to about a third and have the frying basket, or slotted spoon to hand.
2. To make the batter sift the plain flour, cornflour and sea salt into a large mixing bowl. Pour in the sparkling mineral water along with a few ice cubes and combine using a whisk, but don’t over beat. The batter does not need to be completely smooth but use immediately.
3. When the oil reaches 190°C dip some of the prepared vegetables into the batter, shake off any excess, then lower straight into the hot oil. Do not cook too many at once as this will reduce the heat and cause the batter to be soggy. Fry for about 2 minutes until light golden and crisp, then drain on kitchen paper.
4. Repeat with the remaining vegetables in batches, dipping into the batter just before you fry them and ensuring that the oil heats back up to temperature between each batch. Keep the tempura warm in the oven then serve at once warm plate with the sauce alongside for dipping.
