Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod or haddock)
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1.5 cups sparkling water
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Start by patting the fish fillets dry with paper towels and cut each fillet into smaller, evenly sized portions to ensure even frying. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined.
Gradually add the sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth batter with a consistency similar to heavy cream. You may need slightly more or less water depending on the desired thickness of the batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep saucepan or wok over medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature of about 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature for accuracy.
Once the oil is hot, dip each piece of fish into the batter, ensuring it's well coated. Allow excess batter to drip off before carefully placing the fish into the hot oil.
Fry the fish pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for about 3-4 minutes, or until the tempura is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried fish from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the dairy-free crispy fish tempura immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
