Fry Tempura Asparagus
Start by heating about an inch or two of oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. While the oil warms up, mix the tempura batter with water until it’s nice and loose. Trim off the tough ends of the asparagus, then dip each spear into the batter, making sure they’re fully coated. Carefully lower a handful of asparagus into the hot oil—about five or six at a time—and fry them until they float to the surface, which should take around 30 seconds to a minute. Once they’re golden and crispy, transfer them to paper towels to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle with a bit of sea salt while they’re still warm, then repeat with the rest. Enjoy them fresh and crispy!
