Air fryers are taking over kitchens nationwide. They're basically mini convection ovens that 'fry' foods with little to no oil, less fat, and fewer calories. A heating element and fan bathe the food in hot air to produce a crispy finished product. Use 2 to 3 cups of assorted vegetable pieces, cut 1/2-inch thick. Serve with desired dipping sauce.

  • Add the sifted flour into the bowl with the egg and water mixture and lightly combine the flour using chopsticks . Be careful not to overmix the batter; it should be a little lumpy.

Tips:

  • Use cold ingredients: Cold ingredients help the tempura batter to stay light and crispy. Make sure your water, eggs, and vegetables are well-chilled before you start cooking.
  • Make sure your batter is the right consistency: The batter should be thick enough to coat the vegetables, but not so thick that it's difficult to stir. If the batter is too thick, add a little water. If the batter is too thin, add a little flour.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're frying the tempura, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop, and the tempura will become greasy and soggy. Fry the tempura in small batches, so that each piece has plenty of space to cook.
  • Cook the tempura until it's golden brown: The tempura is done cooking when it's golden brown and crispy. Don't overcook the tempura, or it will become tough and chewy.
  • Drain the tempura on paper towels: When the tempura is done cooking, drain it on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the tempura immediately: Tempura is best served immediately, while it's still hot and crispy. You can serve it with dipping sauce, such as tempura sauce or soy sauce.

Conclusion:

Panko tempura is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
