Try my Malunggay Tempura. Bon Appetit!
How to make the tempura batter:
Ingredients:
1 medium egg
225ml ice-cold water
100g plain flour
Preparation:
1. Beat the egg in a bowl and add the iced water. The water must be as cold as possible, as this prevents the batter from absorbing too much oil, keeping it light and crispy.
2. Lightly mix in the flour with a fork and beat gently. Don’t worry too much about lumps.
Prepare this batter immediately before use.
