Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Asparagus Tempura.
Step 1
To start your delicious tempura asparagus, heat 1 to 2 inches of vegetable oil in a saucepan or deep fryer over medium-high heat until it’s nice and hot.
Step 2
While the oil warms up, grab a mixing bowl and combine your tempura mix with some ice-cold water, stirring gently to create a light and airy batter.
Step 3
Next, take your fresh asparagus spears and trim off the tough ends, making them ready for a delightful dip.
Step 4
Now, it’s time for the fun part! Dip each asparagus spear into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly coated for that perfect crunch.
Step 5
Carefully place 5 to 6 battered spears into the hot oil, watching as they sizzle and float to the surface—this should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 6
Once they’re golden and crispy, use a slotted spoon to remove the tempura asparagus and let them drain on paper towels.
Step 7
Don’t forget to sprinkle a little sea salt on top for that extra burst of flavor! Repeat this frying process with the remaining spears, and soon you’ll have a delightful platter of tempura asparagus ready to enjoy.
Step 8
Perfect as a snack or a side dish, these crispy treats are sure to impress!.
