TEMPURA BACON
....*WHAT?* Rest assured, you can tell yourself this is about the healthiest thing you could possibly eat. (Course, you can tell yourself you have 7 birch trees growing out of your left eyeball if you want - It's not like I'm gonna argue.) ;) The measurements and yield here are approximations as I stole this recipe (Bacontarian) and it didn't come with anything useful. The author serves this with soy sauce with garlic and red pepper flakes in it. YOW!

Steps:
- Combine first 7 ingredients (through cayenne powder) and mix well.
- Fry bacon halfway to your liking.
- Heat about ½ inch of oil in large skillet to 350°F.
- Dust bacon and onion chunks with seasoned flour, shake off excess (I use a mesh colander) and place in heated oil, being careful not to crowd, which lowers the heat and allows too much oil to soak into what you're frying.
- Fry to your desired doneness - (This is so subjective, I'm going to leave it up to you) - golden brown works for me.
- Not just for breakfast, consider also using as a garnish for a steak or on a bed of warm, braised brussels sprouts tossed in garlic and mustard.

Steps:
- Whisk the cake flour and rice flour together in a medium glass bowl and divide it in half. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven over high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- Once the temperature reaches 365 degrees F, whisk the egg, seltzer water and vodka, in a medium mixing bowl and divide it in half. Put half of the mixture in the refrigerator to reserve. Pour half of the liquid mixture into half of the dry mixture and whisk to combine, about 10 to 15 seconds. Some lumps may remain. Set the glass bowl in a larger bowl lined with ice.
- Dip the sweet potatoes into the batter using tongs, drain for 2 to 3 seconds over the bowl, and then add to the hot oil. Adjust the heat to maintain between 375 and 400 degrees F. Fry 6 to 8 pieces, at a time, until puffy and very light golden, about 1 to 2 minutes Remove to a cooling rack lined with 3 layers of paper towels set over a half sheet pan. Sprinkle with salt, if desired. Repeat the same dipping and frying procedure with the green beans and parsley leaves. Put the fried vegetables on a serving platter and serve the as an appetizer while preparing the seafood.
- Whisk together the remaining halves of dry and liquid batter ingredients as above and repeat dipping and frying with the shrimp and fish fillets. Sprinkle with salt, if desired, transfer the fish to a serving platter and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Slice bacon thinly: Thinly sliced bacon cooks more evenly and crisps up better in the tempura batter.
- Make sure the tempura batter is cold: Cold batter helps the bacon stay crispy. You can chill the batter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Fry the bacon in hot oil: The oil should be at least 350°F (175°C). This will help the bacon cook quickly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Frying too much bacon at once will lower the temperature of the oil and make the bacon soggy. Fry the bacon in batches if necessary.
- Drain the bacon on paper towels: This will help remove excess oil from the bacon.
Conclusion:
Tempura bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or game day gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a crispy, flavorful dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for something new to try, give tempura bacon a try!
