Method

Prep

10min

Cook

10min

Cut the fennel, aubergine and carrots into fine strips.

Just before they're ready to fry, dredge with potato starch and mix together. Run through the tempura batter (tempura flour and water) and deep fry 2-3 minutes in 180C hot oil.

Mix all the dipping sauce ingredients together in a bowl.

Transfer the tempura to a serving dish. Pour the dipping sauce from Step 3 into a small dish and serve alongside. Eat whilst hot!

Tips & Note

●Dredging in potato starch makes the batter stick to the vegetables and clumps them all together nicely, so this is an important step.
