Basic tempura recipe

Here is a basic tempura recipe. you can use the usual prawns or shrimp, or vegetables, or go crazy with beef or pork. I found this to be really good with pinsec fritos

1 egg
1 cup flour
1 cup very cold water
300g Shrimp, peeled and deveined

Combine all ingredients. Whisk together until smooth in consistency.
Dip shrimp in batter, then deep fry at 175C until golden
Remove and drain on kitchen towel
Serve with Kikkoman soysauce

Note: I usually skewer the shrimp so that will retain a nice straight shape when fried. It is VERY important that the batter is cold. Otherwise, room temperatue batter tend to get soggy after the frying.
