Ingredients | Vegan Vegetable Tempura Recipe

½ cup rice wine

¼ teaspoon salt

½ pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 quarts oil for deep frying

¼ cup all-purpose flour

⅓ cup ice water

¼ cup cornstarch

1 egg yolk

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon white sugar

In a medium bowl, mix rice wine and salt. Place shrimp into the mixture. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 20 minutes.

Heat oil in deep-fryer or large wok to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, ice water, cornstarch, egg yolk, salt, white sugar, shortening and baking powder.

One at a time, dip shrimp into the flour mixture to coat. Carefully place a few shrimp at a time in the hot oil. Deep fry until golden brown on all sides, about 1 1/2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove from oil. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
