Ingredients

1 egg
1 cup ice cold water
1 cup all-purpose flour
Oil for deep-frying (peanut oil is best)
Meat, vegetables, or seafood

Method

Heat oil in a deep pan to 340–350°F (~171–176°C).
Beat the egg in a bowl and add ice cold water. Warmer water will produce a sticky batter and more oily tempura.
Add flour and mix lightly. Do not overmix batter—a few lumps actually improve the result, adding crispiness.
Dip meat or vegetables briefly in the batter, and fry until brown.
Remove from the oil and drain.
Serve hot.
