Instructions
0 Prepare the Shiitake: Remove the stems from the caps and trim off the tough stem tips. 1 Make the Batter: In a bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add cold water and flour, then gently mix until just combined (a few lumps are fine). 5 Fry the Tempura: Heat oil in a frying pan to 170°C (340°F). Lightly dust the shiitake with flour, dip them into the batter, and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry until crisp, then transfer to a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil. 2 Serve: Arrange the tempura on a plate. Prepare the dipping sauce by diluting mentsuyu with water as directed on the bottle. Dip the tempura and enjoy right away while it’s hot and crispy!View original recipe
