Preparing the Prawns
Cleaning and Deveining
Before starting the recipe, it's important to properly clean and devein the prawns. This not only ensures that the prawns are free from any dirt or impurities, but also removes the digestive tract which can sometimes be gritty or unpleasant to eat. To clean the prawns, rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Then, using a small knife or kitchen scissors, make a shallow cut along the back of the prawn and remove the dark vein.
Marinating the Prawns
Marinating the prawns helps to infuse them with flavor and tenderize them before cooking. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, sake, and grated ginger. Add the prawns to the marinade and let them sit for 15-20 minutes. This will give the prawns enough time to soak up the flavors and become more flavorful and tender.
Making the Batter
Choosing the Right Flour
The key to a light and crispy tempura batter is using the right type of flour. Cake flour or all-purpose flour are both good options, but some recipes call for a mix of both for a lighter texture.
Keeping the Batter Cold
To achieve the perfect tempura batter, it's important to keep the batter as cold as possible. This helps to create a light and crispy texture. To do this, place the flour in the freezer for 10 minutes before using it, and use ice-cold water when mixing the batter.
Cooking the Prawns
Using a Deep Fryer
For best results, use a deep fryer to cook the prawns. Heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and carefully add the prawns to the hot oil. Fry them for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Draining and Serving
Once cooked, remove the prawns from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Serve the tempura prawns with a side of tempura dipping sauce and enjoy the crispy, flavorful goodness.
