Tempura Asparagus Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the tough and fibrous bottoms off the asparagus and peel stems with a vegetable peeler. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and coriander. Whisk in soda water just until incorporated with the dry ingredients. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 1 hour. Dip asparagus in batter and place in fryer until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Place on paper towels to drain and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Pour 1-inch vegetable oil into a large, deep skillet. Place over medium-high heat and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Prepare the tempura batter according to package instructions. Dip the asparagus in the batter, place in the skillet and fry until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes. Fry in batches.
• In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, ginger, lemon juice and scallions. Serve the asparagus with the dipping sauce on the side.

Steps:

• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in enough vegetable oil to fill the pan about 1/3 of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer, inserted in the oil, reaches 375 degrees F. (If you dont have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 2 minutes.)
• While the oil is heating, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add the club soda and sesame oil. Stir until just combined and still lumpy.
• Dip the vegetables in the batter and fry, 3 or 4 at a time, until the batter is golden and crispy, about 60 to 70 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
• Arrange the vegetables on a platter and serve the soy sauce alongside as a dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Whisk 1 cup cake flour and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Whisk in 1 cup cold seltzer. Dip 1 bunch trimmed asparagus in the batter and fry in batches in 360 degrees F vegetable oil until crisp, about 2 minutes (drop them in one at a time to prevent sticking). Remove and drain on a rack; season with salt. Serve with ponzu sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• Prepare tempura batter according to package directions. The trick to tempura is to keep the batter very cold. Trim stems on asparagus, dip asparagus into batter and fry in hot oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with soy sauce.

Steps:

• Heat 1 to 2 inches of oil in a saucepan or deep fryer over medium-high heat.
• Stir tempura mix and water together to make a loose batter.
• Cut tough ends from the bottom of the asparagus spears. Dip into the batter, making sure spears are evenly coated.
• Carefully add 5 to 6 asparagus spears to the hot oil. Fry until they float to the top, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain on paper towels and season with sea salt. Repeat with remaining asparagus.
