Corn Tempura
Fresh sweet corn kernels are mixed with Tempura batter and deep-fried, a great summer appetizer
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ear corn
- 1/4 cup cake flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp ice cold water
- oil (for deep-frying)
Instructions
- Make cuts in the surface of the corn with the tip of the knife. Cut the corn in half and slice the corn kernels from the cob. Remove excess moisture with paper towels.
- In a bowl, mix corn and flour thoroughly. Add salt and water, and mix everything well. This creates a sticky texture that will hold together better when fried.
- Drop 3 tablespoons full of corn mixture into the heated oil at medium-high heat, and deep-fry until slightly browned. Take care not to touch too much during cooking so that it doesn't fall apart in the oil. Serve with salt.
