Tempura Vegetables Recipe - So easy, So Quick!!!

When you talk about Japanese food, one of the first things that people mention is Tempura. Lighter than air, crisp jewels of deliciousness. And because it's from the exotic orient, people assume it's difficult and complicated to make. Well I'm here to tell you it's one of the easiest recipes I've done but also one of my favourites. I've gone veggie here with sweet potato, broccoli, sweetcorn and pepers. But you could just as easily do courgettes, asparagus, shrimp, fish, seafood sticks...the world is your oyster (which, incidentally can also be made into tempura!). This recipe is for 2-3 people Tempura batter: 150g self raising flour 1 tsp baking powder Some plain water A pinch of salt and pepper 1.5l cooking oil Vegetables: 2 small sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 3-4mm thick slices 1/2 a head of broccoli cut into small florets 1/2 a pepper thinly sliced 1 small tin of sweetcorn Dipping sauce: 1 tbsp rice vinegar 1 tbsp light soy sauce 1 tsp soft brown sugar
