This delicious sweet potato tempura recipe uses just one sweet potato plus several common pantry ingredients. This easy recipe works to make other vegetable tempura too, such as broccoli, mushroom, and onion.
Ingredients
Dipping Sauce
- ¼ cup rice wine
- ¼ cup soy sauce
Tempura
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup ice water
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups oil for frying
- 1 large sweet potato, scrubbed and sliced into 1/8-inch slices
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Make the tempura: Beat eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Stir in 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons ice water, 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, and salt until just incorporated; batter should still be very lumpy.
Step 2
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set a wire rack over several layers of paper towels.
Step 3
Dry sweet potato slices with paper towels. Dip three slices into batter, letting excess batter drip back into the bowl. Fry in the preheated oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sweet potatoes to the wire rack. Repeat to dip and fry remaining sweet potatoes.
Step 4
Make the dipping sauce: Whisk rice wine and soy sauce together in a small bowl. Serve with tempura.
