Tempura Batter
2 large eggs
2 cups rice flour
1 cup ice water

1/2 head broccoli, broken into florets, blanched
1/2 small head cauliflower, broken into florets, blanched

1 -2 zucchini, sliced
1 -2 carrot, grated

1
Decide which kind of Tempura you are going to do and then prepare vegetables for frying.
2
In a large mixing bowl, break the eggs into 1 cup ice water. Whisk quickly but not thoroughly. Add the rice flour all at once; mix until the batter is loosely combined. (If overmixed, the batter will be too heavy when deep-fried.).
3
Heat 4 Cups of peanut oil on high in a wok or deep-fryer until almost smoking. Make the tempura in small batches.
4
Toss the vegetables in a bowl with the additional flour. Dip vegetable in batter and deep-fry.
5
NOTE - If the carrots are grated, take them up in clumps and dip them in the flour. You will then dip them in the batter to deep-fry them in clumps.
6
Drain briefly on rack or paper towels, then serve immediately with warmed tempura dipping sauce mixed with grated ginger, served in individual bowls. (Tempura does not fry to a 'golden brown'. It will be almost a pasty white when done.).
