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.Â
