Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees. In large, heavy Dutch oven fitted with clip-on candy thermometer, heat oil over high heat to 385 degrees, 18 to 22 minutes.
- While oil heats, make 2 shallow cuts about ¼ inch deep and 1 inch apart on underside of each shrimp. Whisk flour and cornstarch together in large bowl. Whisk egg and vodka together in second large bowl. Whisk seltzer water into egg mixture.
- When oil reaches 385 degrees, pour liquid mixture into bowl with flour mixture and whisk gently until just combined (it is OK if small lumps remain). Submerge half of shrimp in batter. Using tongs, remove shrimp from batter 1 at a time, allowing excess batter to drip off, and carefully place in oil (temperature should now be at 400 degrees). Fry, stirring with chopstick or wooden skewer to prevent sticking, until light brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Once paper towels absorb excess oil, place shrimp on wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet and place in oven.
- Return oil to 400 degrees, about 4 minutes, and repeat with remaining shrimp. Serve immediately with Dipping Sauce.
- NOTE: Do not omit the vodka; it is critical for a crisp coating. For safety, use a Dutch oven with a capacity of at least 7 quarts. Be sure to begin mixing the batter when the oil reaches 385 degrees (the final temperature should reach 400 degrees). It is important to maintain a high oil temperature throughout cooking. If you are unable to find colossal shrimp (8-12 per pound), jumbo (16-20) or extra-large (21-25) may be substituted. Fry smaller shrimp in three batches, reducing the cooking time to 1½ to 2 minutes per batch. See Straighten Out Your Shrimp below for tips on preventing the shrimp from curling.
- DIPPING SAUCE: Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl.
JAPANESE TAKE-OUT TEMPURA WITH DIPPING SAUCE
Tempura, the classic Japanese dish of lightly battered and fried vegetables and seafood, reflects all the essential qualities of Japanese cooking using the freshest ingredients and paying close attention to the details and techniques employed. The best tempura is light, crispy, and not greasy. Making it is really not that complicated and is best done as a group activity, so rally the troops. Round up a few hands to cut vegetables while you dip and fry. You'll be an expert at making tempura in no time. From the Take-Out Menu Cookbook.

Steps:
- To make the dipping sauce: Bring 1 cup of water to a boil and add the dashi. Boil for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the remaining ingredients. Let cool and serve at room temperature.
- In a 2-3 quart pot set over medium-high heat, heat 2 inches of oil to 360º.
- To make the batter: Combine the egg and salt in a medium bowl and beat with a fork until mixed. Add the club soda and stir gently to mix. Sift the flour and cornstarch into the egg mixture and, using chopsticks or the handle of a wooden spoon, stir briefly to mix. Do not overmix. There will be lumps. It should be the consistency of heavy cream.
- To fry the tempura: Working with one type of food at a time, dip the vegetables, shrimp, or scallops in the batter one at a time, letting the excess batter fall back into the bowl. Carefully slide them into the hot oil. Work fast and fry no more than 6 or 7 pieces at a time to prevent the oil from plunging in temperature.
- Turn the pieces when they are slightly golden on the bottom, about 1 minute. Fry on the second side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute and carefully remove with a spider (an Asian-style slotted spoon) or slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Here are some approximate frying times:.
- Zucchini = 1 1/2 minutes.
- Yellow squash = 1 1/2 minutes.
- Sweet potato = 2 minutes.
- Broccoli florets = 1 1/2 minutes.
- Small red onion = 1 1/2 minutes.
- Small mushrooms = 1 1/2 minutes.
- Shrimp = 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
- Scallops = 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
- Return the oil to 360º and carefully add another 6 or 7 pieces of tempura.
- Fry the remaining ingredients in the same manner.
- Serve the tempura hot with the dipping sauce, or with salt and freshly squeezed lemon. Grated daikon should be served alongside the fried vegetables. It can be added to the dipping sauce or on top of the vegetables.
- Variation: Other vegetables to try are carrots, asparagus, and green beans. Cook them first in boiling water for about 1 minute, then put them in an ice bath to stop the cooking. Line up 4 or 5 carrots, asparagus, or green beans, side by side, and run a wooden skewer through them to connect. Dip them in the batter and fry them, then remove the skewer after frying. Other seafood possibilities include cod, crab and squid.
- Make ahead: The dipping sauce can be kept for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.

MIXED TEMPURA
A traditional Japanese dish of meat and vegetables coated with a tempura batter and then deep fried. Serve this with tempura dipping sauce and steamed rice. Tempura is a very versatile dish that can be made with seafood, chicken, or beef and any of your favorite vegetables. This recipe is done with king prawns, broccoli, mushrooms and red peppers, but among my favorite is chicken, zucchini, green beans, carrots and sweet potatoes.

Steps:
- Peel and devein the prawns, leaving the tails intact. Cut a slit in the underside of each prawn (this will prevent them curling).
- Sift the flour into a bowl, make a well in the center and add the iced water and egg yolk. Stir with chopsticks (or fork) until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Fill a deep heavy-based pan one third full of oil and heat to 350 degrees F, or until a cube of bread dropped into the oil turns golden in 15 seconds.
- Dip the prawns in flour to coat, shake off any excess, then dip in the batter. cook the prawns in batches until crisp and light golden. Drain on crumpled paper towels. Repeat with the vegetables. Serve the tempura immediately with tempura dipping sauce or soy sauce.
- Note: Tempura should have a very light batter and needs to be served as soon as it is cooked. Be sure that the water is ice cold as this helps to lighten the batter. If you are unsure, add a few ice cubes. If you use plain flour, add a little extra water to help thin the batter.

JAPANESE TEMPURA SAUCE
This recipe was given to me in Japan by Okumurasan. I don't know where to find sake or mirin here (maybe an asian market?) Okumurasan told me to just use 4 tsp sugar instead, however it won't taste quite the same. Sake and Mirin are both Japanese wines, and they add a distinct, sweet taste to the sauce.

JAPANESE TEMPURA SAUCE - TEN TSUYU
This recipe is a variation to Soba Tsuyu. Dashi is a soup and cooking stock considered fundamental to Japanese cooking. Dashi forms the base for MIso Soup, clear broth soups, Japanese noodle broths, and many Japanese simmering liquids. Most people use granulated or liquid instant substitutes found in Asian Markets or in most grocery stores (Asian food section) or in health stores. Usukuchi means thin flavor, not low sodium. Please do not confuse these two sauces, because their flavor is entirely different. Usukuchi is much lighter in color. All these items are available in Asian Markets. Serve sauces with grated daikon, momiji oroshi (red pepper spiced grated daikon), or grated fresh ginger root (né shoga) to be mixed at the table in each diner's kozara (saucer).
