Tempura, when light and crisp and hot out of the oil, is one of my favorite things. This recipe covers all bases. It takes very little of any given vegetable to make an assorted tempura platter. A large yam, a few Japanese eggplant, a handful of green beans, a couple of zucchini and an onion will make enough for a 6 - 8 people.
While the recipe is simple, it is key to prep the vegetables in pretty bias cuts. Your deep fry oil must be hot - 350'F is best. They don't take long to cook so keep an eye on the vegetables. Fry in batches so as not to overcrowd the fryer.
Serve with teriyaki salmon and white rice; simple and elegant ~ Chanukah Asian style!
