Steps:
- Measure out 200ml of water into a jug and place it in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. Place sparkling water in the fridge too. (Preferably an unopened bottle.)
- Sift 30g potato starch and 150g cake flour into a bowl. Mix them and place the bowl in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
- While you are waiting for the water and flour to chill, prepare your tempura ingredients by washing, cutting and drying them with a paper towel.
- Once 30 minutes have passed, start preheating your oil to 180C (356F).
- Pour the chilled water and 150ml of chilled sparkling water into a bowl.
- Crack the egg into the bowl and whisk. (If bubbles or foam forms on top, scoop it out with a spoon.)
- Add the flour/starch one third at a time, gently drawing crosses through the mixture with the chopsticks to incorporate it. (Do not whisk or over mix.)
- Test your oil by adding a drop of batter, if it sizzles and floats you're ready to fry.
- Coat your ingredients in a thin layer of flour and then dip them in the batter.
- Carefully place them into the oil and allow to fry until crispy but before they turn golden. (I recommend frying each different ingredient in a batch to ensure even cooking.)
- Once cooked, place on a wire rack to allow the excess oil to drip off.
- Serve and enjoy!

FANTASTIC CRISPY TEMPURA BATTER
Whenever I have tempura at a restaurant it is always so light and crispy, the boxed store-bought stuff is okay providing you rush to the table within minutes to eat it or it gets soggy and soft, I have tryed many tempura recipes over my 35 years of cooking I have to say this one is the best, it produces a very light crispy coating that holds up well --- I have used this to make tempura veggies and froze them after deep-frying in this batter, and just reheated them in a small amount of oil, also with bite-size meaty pieces of fish and with about 15 large peeled shrimp cooked about 3 minutes --- remember the tempura must sit out at room temperature for 10 minutes before using, If you want to make a double recipe of tempura, then make two exact recipes using two separate bowls, do NOT double the recipe and make it all in one bowl it will not work --- use only rice flour for this anything else will not work the same and use only a light-coloured beer.
