Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Ice-cold sparkling water
- 3 pieces Ice cubes
- 4 cups Neutral oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 2
Gradually add the ice-cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, gently whisking to form a thin batter. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Step 3
Add ice cubes directly to the bowl to keep the batter cold. The cold temperature is key to achieving a crisp tempura coating.
Step 4
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the neutral oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature during frying.
Step 5
Dip your chosen ingredients (e.g., vegetables, seafood) into the batter, coating them evenly. Let any excess batter drip off.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated ingredients into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp (about 2–3 minutes per batch).
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried pieces to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the tempura immediately with dipping sauce or as part of your favorite meal. Enjoy the light and crispy texture!
