Serves/Makes: 11 | Ready In: < 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 pound large fresh shrimp
1 pound scallops
1/2 small eggplant, cut in 2' x 1/3' strips
3/4 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 large green bell pepper, sliced lengthwise into 1/4 inch strips
1/2 pound small fresh mushrooms
6 large parsley sprigs
***Batter***
1 large egg yolk
2 cups ice cold water
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 2/3 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
vegetable oil, for frying
dipping sauce
1 cup soy sauce or shoyu
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup dry sherry wine
fresh gingerroot
fresh horseradish
***Garnish***
radish slices
scallion brushes
Directions:
Shell and devein shrimp, leaving shell on tip of tail. Boil in salted water, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for five minutes. Drain; cool. Do the same for scallops but simmer for about three minutes.
Placed cooled seafood with the sliced veggies, cover with plastic wrap and keep in fridge till ready to cook.
Batter: In a large mixing bowl, use a wooden spoon to combine egg yolk and ice cold water and baking soda. Wit ha a wire whisk, stir in unsifted flour to make a smooth batter (batter will be thin.). Use batter soon after it's made; doesn't stand well.
Place vegetable oil 3 inches deep and heat to 375 degrees F on deep frying thermometer. Coat each piece separately into batter and coat lightly. Deep fry a few at a time till lightly browned, about three or so minutes.
Dipping sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, beef broth and sherry; bring to boiling. Place in shallow serving bowls for each guest. Grate remaining ingredients and separately in serving bowls for guests to add to their sauce to their tastes.
Tempura is best cooked at the table and served immediately. Serve a combination of seafood and a variety of vegetables to each guest, along with the sauce, garnish with radish slices and scallion brushes. Variations can be made to your own tastes :) Some suggestions would be white fish, fresh clams, mussels, (any fresh veg) broccoli, zucchini, carrots, scallions or sweet Bermuda onions.
