Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 1 cup cold water or 1 cup chilled vodka
• 1 cup all-purpose flour or 1 cup rice flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 1 pour water into a large bowl. in another bowl whisk together flour and salt. sprinkle flour mixture over water then barely whisk the batter. there will be lumps.
• 2 strain through a fine mesh sieve.
• 3 pour the smooth batter into your isi creative whip.
• 4 screw on one isi soda charger – not the silver cream charger – but a gold soda charger. shake vigorously about 5 times.
• 5 test your batter. it should look like fizzy, soft whipped cream. dip lightly floured pieces of seafood, veggies – like the green beans in the photo above – or seasonal wild mushrooms immediately or you can let the batter chill in your fridge until you’re ready to fry.
• 6 to serve, preheat oil to 375°f and fry battered pieces until light golden. sprinkle with salt while still hot and serve immediately with or without a dipping sauce.
• 7 your finished tempura dishes will be light and crisp enough to challenge even a tempura master chef!
