Prawn Tempura 🍤 #shorts (not so basic, sorry Mitch)

Prawn Tempura

Recipe

Ingredients

- 8 raw prawns, peeled and deveined with tail still on
- 1 sweet potato, sliced about 0.5cm thick
- 2 squash, sliced about 0.75 cm thick
- 200g tempura batter flour
- 50g flour
- 50ml dashi
- 40ml soy
- 30ml mirin
- 20ml yuzu juice
- 1 tsp cornflour
- oil for frying
- salt to taste
- optional Togarashi for seasoning

Method

1. Start by slicing all the veg. You can use mostly harder veg but you don't want things with too high of water content.
2. For the prawns, make 4-5 small slices on the belly so the prawns stay straight.
3. To make the batter, simply mix the tempura flour (you should be able to find it at most Asian supermarkets) with ice-cold water until you have the consistency of pouring cream. Try not to overmix the batter, small lumps are fine.
4. To make the dipping sauce, add the dashi, soy, yuzu and mirin to a small pot and bring to a simmer. Thicken it by mixing a tablespoon of water with the cornflour before adding it to the simmering sauce and mixing. You don't want a thick sauce just slightly thicker than cold soy.
5. To fry the tempura, get the oil to 160c then dust the veg and prawns in the flour, then into the batter.
6. Fry until crisp. You are looking for just a light golden colour.
7. Remove from the oil and onto a rack, season with salt and Togarashi if you wish (thanks to Steph and Marty for the ones they brought us back from Japan)
8. Enjoy it immediately before it loses its crispiness.

Everybody needs a Basic Mitch in their lives.

Patiently waiting for the day Mitch asks for an extremely complicated dish and the response is "fancy Mitch"

[rizkidjakaria]

He still uses his hands instead of chopsticks. Basic Mitch

[hoangnguyen]

One day Mitch will call a unique dish and he wont be able to say "Basic Mitch"

looks awesome andy!! filipino cooking tip - when preparing the prawns, sever the back tendons and pull them out, gently, into a more thin and long shape about as wide as a pinky - they will cook quicker and crisp up better :D great video!

Damn looks amazing I used to have this as a kid as ‘special food’ because stuff like this was considered unhealthy so I remember having this got my 8th birthday and I was so excited. We didn’t plate it fancy haha. Also love the bright pink chopsticks 🥢
Still waiting on the Cantonese family style dinner for Heun Wah please chef!

Tbh Mitch is a genius guy. He knows he just has to ask for basic food it's Andy's job to make it fancy and special 🤭

As a big fan of simple food I find myself pleased with the choices Mitch makes. Complicated doesn’t necessarily make food better
