Tempura Batter 101

Directions

1. 1
   Pour water into a large bowl. In another bowl whisk together flour and salt. Sprinkle flour mixture over water then barely whisk the batter. There will be lumps.
2. 2
   Strain through a fine mesh sieve.
3. 3
   Pour the smooth batter into your iSi Creative Whip.
4. 4
   Screw on one iSi soda charger - not the silver cream charger - but a gold soda charger. Shake vigorously about 5 times.
5. 5
   Test your batter. It should look like fizzy, soft whipped cream. Dip lightly floured pieces of seafood, veggies - like the green beans in the photo above - or seasonal wild mushrooms immediately or you can let the batter chill in your fridge until you're ready to fry.
6. 6
   To serve, preheat oil to 375°F and fry battered pieces until light golden. Sprinkle with salt while still hot and serve immediately with or without a dipping sauce.
7. 7
   Your finished tempura dishes will be light and crisp enough to challenge even a tempura master chef!
