An idea of foods that you can use in Tempura Batter happens to be a list that is quite long. Shrimp, prawn, crab, scallops, calamari, eel, shellfish, fish filets, onion rings, green peppers, eggplant, green beans, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, okra, tomatoes and even bamboo shoots are all favorites for using the tempura batter.
Simply prepare the raw food, mix the Tempura Batter with cold water, and dip into the batter. Then briefly deep fry in hot oil. You can use vegetable oil or canola oil, as those are the most common. Although sesame oil is most traditionally used as it was thought that certain compounds in sesame oil helps to produce a lighter, crispier batter.

The desired temperature to have your oil is between 190 and 215 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking times can range from a few seconds to several minutes, depending on the thickness of your food. Do not overcook the tempura. You will also notice when frying with tempura batter, that little bits of batter will come off during cooking. Be sure to scoop these out as you take your food out of the fryer. This is a wonderful little extra crunch on the dinner plates, but the biggest reason for removing it is to not let them burn in the oil, as it will leave a bad flavor in the oil for your next batch of food.
We urge you to try Andy’s Seasoning Tempura Batter. Your family will absolutely love this and probably insist on having it as one of your weekly meals. Don’t forget to try sprinkling on a bit of Andy’s Seasoning Seasoned Salt to add a little extra zip and flavor to that crunch!
