Steps:
- Make the tempura batter: Sift the flour into a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and water until lightly frothy. Add the flour in 3 additions, stirring with chopsticks just to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Prepare the shrimp: Trim the tails, then use your knife to scrape the dirt and water from the remaining tail shell. Cut small incisions crosswise on both the top and bottom of the shrimp. This will prevent the shrimp from curling up as it cooks. Do not cut too deep, or the shrimp will fall apart. Pat the shrimp dry between paper towels, then refrigerate until ready to fry.
- Prepare the eggplant: Trim the stem, then cut in half lengthwise. Leaving the top ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) intact, cut 5-6 ½-inch (¼ cm) thick slices down the length of the eggplant.
- Fry the kabocha squash: Fill a medium pot about halfway with oil. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 320°F (160°C).
- Coat the kabocha wedges lightly with flour, dusting off any excess. Dip the wedges in the tempura batter. Fry in the hot oil for 4-5 minutes, or until tender. Let any excess oil drip off, then transfer to a wire rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
- Fry the eggplant: Increase the oil temperature to 340°F (170°C).
- Coat the eggplant lightly with flour, dusting off any excess. Dip in the tempura batter. Fry in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes, or until tender. Transfer to the wire rack to drain.
- Fry the shrimp: Increase the oil temperature to 350°F (180°C).
- Lightly coat the shrimp with flour, dusting off any excess. Dip in the tempura batter. Add the shrimp to the hot oil. Dip your fingers into the tempura batter and drizzle over the shrimp. This will make them extra crunchy. Fry the shrimp for 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer to the wire rack to drain.
- Serve the tempura immediately with dipping sauce or seasoned salt alongside.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Begin making small slits into the inner part of each shrimp. I make about 5 slits for each shrimp. This will help stop the shrimp from curling during frying.
- Mix the tempura batter mix with ice-cold water according to the package.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat.
- Pat the shrimp dry and dip them into the tempura batter. Quickly place it into the hot oil and turn once. Cook each shrimp tempura until golden in color. Remove from hot skillet and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve the shrimp tempura with low sodium soy sauce or tempura sauce.

Steps:
- Whisk light soy sauce, mirin, and dashi granules together in a bowl for the sauce; set aside.
- Whisk water and egg yolks together in a bowl until well combined. Sift in flour and whisk until just combined; batter will be a bit lumpy.
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok or a deep saucepan until very hot, but not smoking.
- Dip sweet potato, onion, bell pepper, green beans, and shiitake mushrooms one by one into the batter and transfer immediately into the hot oil. Deep-fry tempura in batches, making sure to not overcrowd the wok, until batter is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat until all vegetables have been used. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

CARIBBEAN TEMPURA
I was inspired to create a flavor fusion of Japanese tempura with delectable Caribbean ingredients. My picky nine-year-old ate onions and red peppers without even knowing it and loved this!

Steps:
- Peel sweet potato and cut into round slices. Cut red pepper into strips. Cut red onion into wide rings.
- Prepare batter by whisking cold water into egg yolks. Add 1 1/2 cups of flour and coconut in all at once and stir just to mix.
- Prepare dipping sauce by combining rum, beef stock, ginger, salt, brown sugar and minced garlic clove. Bring to a low boil. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and whisk until thickened to desired consistency. Turn heat down to lowest setting to keep warm.
- Dip vegetables into batter and fry in hot oil either in a fry pan on the stove or in deep fryer till outside is crispy. Note: the sweet potatoes take a little longer to fry through so that they are soft. Test with a fork to determine if they are done.
- Serve with sauce and enjoy.
