CRISPY TEMPURA VEGETABLES
Let's be real about tempura for a minute. It's crispy, it's fried, AND it's not another potato dish. That's an automatic win to me. Plus, the fact that it's vegetables has me convinced that it's healthy.

Steps:
- 1. Begin by washing, drying, and cutting an assortment of vegetables into bite-sized, oblong, or square pieces, about ¼- to ⅓-inch thick. The thicker the vegetable, the longer it will have to cook. Potatoes and root vegetables need to be blanched before using; softer veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, and eggplant do not. 2. Whisk egg yolk and club soda in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in tapioca starch, salt, and baking soda until a thin batter forms. Do not overbeat the mixture; it should remain slightly lumpy looking. 3. Add a few ice cubes to keep the batter cool. When oil is heated up to 375°F, dip some of the sliced, DRY vegetables into the tempura batter; make sure pieces are coated on all sides. If batter is not sticking, roll vegetables first in tapioca starch and then in batter. Let extra batter drip back into the bowl or it will form little pieces that burn quickly, giving a burnt taste to your oil and therefore your fried veggies. Be sure oil covers vegetables completely. Don't crowd vegetables. 4. Cook for 30 seconds to 1½ minutes (watch carefully, times aren't precise) on each side, or until golden brown. Tempura mixture should be made right before you are ready to actually fry vegetables. 5. Serve as is or with aioli. Recipe published in JOY of KOSHER with Jamie Geller magazine Pesach 2016.

VEGETABLE TEMPURA
Tempura batter is very handy and easy to make. You can use it with just about any vegetable, as long as they are cut thin enough so that the vegetable can just cook and soften in the same time as it takes for the batter to crisp. These can be eaten alone as a starter with a good sprinkle of rock salt, halves of lemon or lime and possibly some of the dips. The battered vegetables also make a nice side dish, especially with simply cooked meat or fish and a salad.

Steps:
- Add all the flour to a bowl. With the handle of a spoon, or a chopstick, mix, and stir in the ice-cold water until the mixture is slightly thicker than buttermilk consistency. Make a point of not mixing thoroughly, as tempura is renowned for lumps of flour.
- Dip sliced vegetables (zucchini, onions, eggplants, carrots, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, string beans, broccoli, wild mushrooms, fresh herbs, and bok choy) any vegetables will work but these are the most commonly used) into the batter mixture and shake off any excess.
- Deep fry vegetables in a wok or deep fat fryer (you can use a frying pan if you do not have anything else, you just need about 7cm/3 inches of clean oil) at 200C/400F/Gas 6 until the batter is light golden in color and crisp. (Any large amounts of hot oil in a kitchen, especially in woks which are not always that sturdy, scare me, please be careful and do not leave the pan unattended.) Turn the vegetables at intervals to ensure that both sides are cooked equally and then fish them out with a slotted spoon, shaking off any excess oil. Place them on kitchen paper towels and eat as soon as possible. The reason that I keep going on about eating them so quickly is because as your hot cooked vegetables cool down inside the batter they begin to steam, making them less crisp as time goes on. Good tempura should be crispy and is one of those things that should be made and cooked quickly and eaten straight away.
- Pour the rice wine vinegar into a small bowl. Add the sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Taste for sweetness. Add cilantro, chile, and garlic and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and allow to sit for 10 minutes to 1 hour, for flavors to combine.;
