Week 1: Tempura!

I made veggie and chicken tempura. I used a recipe from about.com

My friend Michele and I made it together.

I used their batter recipe but with wheat flour because it was the only thing i had. It was yummy, but it was heavy. I would recommend this to anyone who likes fried veggies, but not so much if you want real Japanese tempura.

On the other hand, we made a tempura sauce that was to die for. It is not the original sauce that you would get from a restaurant, but it tasted about the same and was really easy to make, other than shredding the ginger and radish.
here is the link from Yahoo Answers for that one:
