Directions
First, prepare your vegetables by washing, peeling (if needed), and cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the tempura batter mix with ice-cold water. Stir until it becomes a consistency similar to pancake batter.
Dust each piece of vegetable lightly with flour. This helps the tempura batter stick better to the vegetables.
Dip each vegetable piece into the batter, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large frying pan. Once it's hot, carefully drop battered vegetables into the oil.
Fry each piece until it turns golden brown. This should take around 3-4 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the vegetables from the oil and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Season with a sprinkle of salt while still hot.
Serve your vegetable tempura fresh and crisp, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce.
