Vegetable tempura with crispy chilly soy sauce

Vegetable tempura with crispy chili sauce is a Japanese dish that combines the goodness of crunchy, fresh vegetables with a spicy and savory sauce.

This recipe is perfect for those looking for a delicious vegetarian meal, with carrots, parsnips, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, and bell peppers. The tempura batter is light and crispy, giving the dish a unique texture. However, the real star is the crispy chili sauce.

Bursting with flavor, it’s made with a blend of sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, lime, pepper, ginger, and onion. The toasted sesame seeds add extra crunch and nuttiness to the dish.

Directions:

Chop the mushrooms and the vegetables.

Do not mix for too long or you risk the mixture becoming rubbery. Don’t worry if there are some lumps as this is normal with tempura.

For the sauce, finely chop the chili and green onion, grate the ginger, and mix them together with the rest of the ingredients.

In a wok, heat the frying oil over medium-high heat.

Coat the vegetables with the tempura mixture, draining off the excess, and deep fry in small batches. Avoid crowding the wok.

Enjoy!
