Ingredients

  • Frying oil made from vegetables
  • A cup of tempura mixture like Kikkoman® brand
  • Three-quarters of a cup of extremely cold water
  • One pound of fresh asparagus
  • Two teaspoons of sea salt

Step 1

Begin by heating a generous amount of oil in a saucepan or deep fryer on medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together the tempura mix and water until you achieve a slightly runny batter consistency.

Step 3

Prepare the asparagus by removing any tough ends from the spears. Next, dip each spear into the batter, ensuring they are fully and evenly coated.

Step 4

Gently place around 5 to 6 coated asparagus spears into the hot oil. Cook until they begin to float to the surface, which should take approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 5

Once done, carefully remove the fried asparagus and let them drain on paper towels. Add a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor.

Step 6

Continue this process with the remaining asparagus until all are cooked to perfection.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your asparagus upright in a jar with water to maintain its crispness and freshness for longer periods.
  2. 2. For a burst of flavor, sprinkle some lemon zest on your asparagus before storing it in the fridge.
