Tempura batter

1 egg

1/2 Cup Flour

1/2 Cup CornStarch

1 Cup Ice cold water (Prevents batter to absorb oil)

Instructions

Note: You must make this batter right before you start frying. Heat up a wok or deep frying pan to very Hot (350F) while making batter.

-Beat the egg a mixing bowl, then add cold water.

-Mix the Flour and Corn starch together then mix in the mixing bowl.

-Mix until its a little lumpy, do not over mix. The lumps will pop in the oil when fried, helps expand the batter.

-Grab a shrimp by its tail, dip it in the batter, then place in Hot Oil. Fry for 3 minutes.

a-HA! So that's how you make "Japanese" mayo. There's this restaurant here called Upstream that has spicy shrimp on their menu and I have been trying for AGES to find out how to get that exact mayo taste they have for dipping. They did tell me it is mayo mixed with Sriraca sauce but I knew the mayo wasn't just any kind of mayo. Their spicy shrimp is pretty good but nothing out of the ordinary, basically shrimp boiled in Old Bay seasoning.

 

Anyway, I will definitely be trying out this recipe of yours. You are a cooking MACHINE. How come I never see you on The Iron Chef?

 

And now, to find me some Kewpie mayo ...
