Sweet Potato Tempura Recipe
It’s the perfect way to serve your finger food during game day, tailgating, and any party. Sweet potato tempura is a Japanese-inspired recipe that is typically made with sweet potato, onions, salt, soy sauce, and rice wine.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup ice water
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 cups oil for frying
- 1 sweet potato, scrubbed and sliced into 1/8-inch slices
Dipping Sauce:
- ¼ cup rice wine
- ¼ cup soy sauce
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Salt, 3/4 cup plus three tablespoons ice water, and 3/4 cup plus one tablespoon flour are stirred in until just incorporated, but the batter is lumpy.
- A deep-fryer or large saucepan should be heated to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Slices of sweet potato should be dried well. Let excess batter drip back into the bowl after dipping 3 slices in the batter. Once golden brown, turn once and fry for about two minutes on each side.
- Place on a cooling rack set over paper towels after being lifted with a slotted spoon. With the remaining slices, repeat the process.
- To make the dipping sauce, whisk together rice wine and soy sauce in a small bowl.
