Tempura Vegetables

Ingredients:

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2/3 cup ice water
Carrots, thinly sliced lengthwise
Green Beans
Onions, sliced
Peppers, sliced
Oil for deep frying


Directions:

Prepare veggies and set aside. Heat oil in a large pan at a medium high heat. While oil heats up, sift together the dry ingredients. Beat egg slightly and mix with the water. Add the dry ingredients. Stir only until mixed; mixture will be slightly lumpy.
Dip vegetables into the batter and deep fry until golden brown, about 5-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Note: You can do any vegetable you would like. You can also do shrimp or scallops, I have never tried either. We call these veggie fries and the kids like the carrots and beans best. The peppers are SO yummy and sweet. After I pulled the veggies out of the oil I salted them slightly. If your batter seems to thin add more flour. The batter will be thin but you don't want it to runny or it will not stick to the veggies when cooked.
