Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Biscuit mix
- 0.75 cup Cold water
- 4 cups Assorted vegetables (e.g., carrots, zucchini, broccoli, bell peppers)
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Optional dipping sauce (soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or ponzu)
Instructions
Wash and dry all vegetables. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the biscuit mix and cold water together until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be slightly thinner than pancake batter; add a little more water if necessary.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature for best results.
Working in batches, dip the prepared vegetables into the batter, ensuring an even coating.
Carefully lower the batter-coated vegetables into the hot oil. Fry for 2–3 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain a consistent oil temperature.
Once fried, transfer the vegetables to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Lightly sprinkle with salt while still warm.
Repeat with the remaining vegetables until all are cooked.
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy the crispiness of the tempura before it cools!
