Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Ice-cold sparkling water
- 3 pieces Ice cubes
- 4 cups Neutral oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the ice-cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, gently whisking to form a thin batter. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Add ice cubes directly to the bowl to keep the batter cold. The cold temperature is key to achieving a crisp tempura coating.
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the neutral oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature during frying.
Dip your chosen ingredients (e.g., vegetables, seafood) into the batter, coating them evenly. Let any excess batter drip off.
Carefully place the coated ingredients into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp (about 2–3 minutes per batch).
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried pieces to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the tempura immediately with dipping sauce or as part of your favorite meal. Enjoy the light and crispy texture!
