Tempura Shiso leaves

Tempura Shiso leaves

Servings 20 leaves

Ingredients

  • 20 g rice flour
  • 30 g flour
  • 10 g cornstarch
  • 3 g salt
  • 100 g ice cold water
  • 25 g whole egg
  • 20 green shiso leaves

Instructions

  • First mix the rice flour with the flour, the cornstarch and the salt. Then while stirring add the ice cold water and the whole egg.
  • Once it’s smooth directly stop mixing it prevent too much gluten from forming.
  • Then the Shiso. Take a couple of leaves and submerge them in the batter. Then place the leaves on the side so all the access batter can drip off. For this I prefer a super thin layer of batter.
  • Now deep fry them at 160 °C and base some of the hot oil on top for an more even frying process.
  • When the Shiso leaf stops bubbling gently take it out of the oil and continue frying.
  • Then season them with salt and keep them dry and covered for later.
