Pumpkin Tempura with Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce


Pumpkin Tempura with Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce
Serves 2-4
Ingredients
1 pinch Salt
Extra Spicy Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce
100 ml Ice Water
1.5 tsp Baking Powder
60 g Flour
50 g Cornstarch
1 Butternut Squash
Pumpkin
Frying oil
Method
- Bake the pumpkin until soft at 150°C for 15 minutes.
- Once baked, slice the pumpkin into 1-finger-thick slices and let it cool dowm 5/10 mins.
- In a bowl, mix water, ice, and flour to create a batter. Add water gradually until the mass thickens. Add 1 teaspoon baking powder. Add a pinch of salt to the batter.
- Warm the frying oil to 170°C. Dip the pumpkin slices into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated. Carefully drop the battered pumpkin slices into the hot oil. Fry the pumpkin slices until your batter is crispy, about 2 minutes. Remove the pumpkin slices from the oil and place them on a tray to drain excess oil. Allow the pumpkin tempura to cool for a few minutes.
Serve the pumpkin tempura on a plate accompanied by other vegetables. Dip the tempura in Extra Spicy Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce, along, of course with all the other veggies.
