Key points of the recipe

  1. Keep the dough cold: It is crucial that the tempura batter is cold before battering the ingredients. This helps the tempura to crisp up when frying. Be sure to beat the egg, mix it with cold water and flour, and keep the mixture in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  2. Control the oil temperature: Heat the oil to a constant temperature of 175 °C to ensure even cooking and prevent the tempura from absorbing too much oil and becoming greasy. Use a cooking thermometer if necessary to monitor the temperature.
  3. Quick fry and serve immediately: Ingredients should be fried for 2 to 3 minutes until crisp and golden brown. It is important to serve the tempura immediately after frying to enjoy its crunchy texture. Serve with warm tempura sauce for dipping.

Pairing with wine

Tempura is a fried dish characterized by its crispy and light texture. Because of the frying, tempura can be heavy and greasy, so the right pairing should balance the unctuousness of the dish. A dry and light white wine such as a Riesling or a Sauvignon Blanc would be suitable for this dish. These wines have a refreshing acidity and light body that can cut through tempura fat and provide a clean, refreshing sensation on the palate.

Beer pairing

Beer is a drink that pairs well with tempura because of its refreshing taste and its ability to cleanse the palate after each bite. Japanese beers, such as Sapporo or Kirin, are an ideal choice, as they have a light flavor and a moderate level of carbonation that balances with the crisp texture of the tempura. In addition, beer has the advantage of being a versatile beverage that can be paired with a variety of ingredients in tempura, including vegetables and prawns.
