Tempura

• Veggies: Greenbeans with ends chopped off, Sweet potatoes peeled and sliced thin, Broccoli Flowers, White Onion slices, Eggplant peeled sliced thin salted and washed, Summer squash and/or zucchini sliced thin, Mushrooms sliced.
• Canola oil for deep frying
• Optional: A little sesame oil to flavor the canola oil
• 1 cup white flour
• 2 eggs
• Optional: 1 tablespoon sake
• 3/4 cup ice water (colder is better)

Prepare the veggies.

Start heating the oil to 375 degrees. Mix a batter from the flour, eggs, water and optional sake. The water should be really cold -- a couple ice cubes don't hurt!

Piece by piece, dredge the veggies through the batter and then place in the heated oil. Fry 2-3 minutes each piece until it looks just right!

Serve hot with ten tsuyu dipping sauce.
