Ingredients

1. Enough vegetable oil for deep frying
2. 2 sweet potatoes

Batter

1. 1 egg
2. 1 cup flour
3. ½ teaspoon baking soda
4. ¾ cup ice water

Dipping Sauce

1. 1 cup water
2. ¼ cup mirin
3. ¼ cup soy sauce

Instructions

1. Fill your pan or deep fryer with vegetable oil. Heat the oil to 375 F.
2. In the meantime, peel and slice the sweet potato into ½ thick pieces.
3. Mix the batter ingredients in a large bowl, whisking until well combined. The batter should be fairly runny, but add more flour or water if you need to adjust the consistency.
4. Dip the potatoes into the batter and let the excess run off.
5. Carefully place the potatoes in the oil with a fork or tongs. Hold the potatoes above the bottom of the pan for a few seconds to prevent them from sticking. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Remove the potatoes from the oil and allow them to drain on a paper towel. Serve with tempura dipping sauce and enjoy.

Dipping Sauce

1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and serve with prepared tempura vegetables or seafood.
2. This recipe makes about about 1 ½ cups and can be stored for later use.
