vegetable tempura

Fried Japanese vegetables

Vegetable tempura is a Japanese dish of vegetables dipped in light batter and deep-fried until crispy.

Common vegetables include sweet potato, eggplant, bell pepper, and green beans.

The batter is kept cold and mixed minimally to achieve the characteristically delicate, lacy coating: We ordered vegetable tempura as an appetizer.
