Method
- Mix together the ingredients for the sauce. Add a little cold water, a tablespoon at a time, to reach a dipping sauce consistency.
- For the tempura, in a large bowl, mix the flour, cornflour, sesame seeds and bicarbonate of soda. Season well with salt and pepper. Whisk in the sparkling water to make a thick and slightly bubbly batter.
- Fill a medium-sized saucepan a third full with oil. Heat until hot. You will be frying in batches, so if you want to use less oil just use a smaller saucepan and do more batches.
- To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of bread in. When the bread turns golden in 2 mins, the oil is ready.
- Dip the veg into the batter, then shake off any excess and gently drop into the hot oil to fry for 3-4 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on kitchen paper to drain. Repeat with the remaining vegetables.
- Serve the warm tempura veg with the dipping sauce.
