Ingredients

  • 4 shrimp
  • 4 slices kabocha squash
  • 4 slices sweet potato
  • 4 slices eggplant
  • 6 green beans
  • 3/4 cup cake flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup water with 3-4 ice cubes
  • oil for deep frying
  • Mentsuyu

Instructions

  • Cut vegetables into 1/4" thick slices. Make diagonal cuts on shrimp to help straighten.
  • Put cake flour, baking powder, salt in a medium bowl and whisk well.
  • Add ice water into flour mixture and stir with chopsticks (not whisk) about 10 times. It's OK to have a lot of lumps in batter.
  • Heat oil to very high temperature (375F). Dip vegetables and shrimp in batter, and deep fry until they float and are cooked through.
