Eggplants

Tips:

(1)   Home made tempura flour; 1 cup flour + 1 tbsp rice flour + 1 tbsp cornstarch.

(2)   Use your normal batter recipe but use ICE water, with ice cube even better. The just dip are fry/ grill. No need buy prepackaged tempura flour.

(3)   No to over mix the batter. I use a pair of chopsticks and roughly mix with a few stir and use immediately without worrying about the little lumps.

FOODS ART AND SCIENCE – Yolks contribute to the color, flavor and texture. Baking powder is a leavening agent, that cause batters to rise when baked. The leavener enlarges the bubbles which are already present in the batter produced through creaming of ingredients.
