For an extra light and crispy tempura, ensure all ingredients are cold, especially the ice water. Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Maintain the oil temperature for optimal frying. If the oil is too cool, the tempura will be soggy; if it's too hot, it will burn quickly. Experiment with different dipping sauces, such as a classic tentsuyu sauce, spicy mayo, or a simple soy sauce with grated ginger.

Dec 20, 2024I found the batter a bit thick, so I added a tablespoon or two more of ice water until it reached a thinner consistency. The results were amazing!
