prepare a tempura cooking station, beside your burner, arrange the vegetables, a plate with the cake flour, and the wet and dry parts of the batter. Also, ready a tray lined with paper towels or newspaper to absorb the excess oil from the cooked vegetables, and the tools you’ll need: chopsticks, a metal strainer, and a candy thermometer, if you have one. Place a cooking vessel on the burner; use one with a uniform size to heat oil evenly, like a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven (don’t use a wok). Add the vegetable oil and sesame oil.
Add a touch of sesame oil to the pan. Be careful not to overfill the skillet, which will lower the cooking temperature; use, at most, half of the surface area of the oil to cook. While the oil is heating, prepare the tempura batter. Heat the oil to 360°F ( 180 度 )over high heat. Use a candy thermometer or follow the old-school method to judge the temperature. If the oil is too hot, the tempura will burn; if too low, the tempura will come out soggy and greasy.
Lightly dredge the vegetables / shrimp in flour 裹上干面粉
Dip into the batter just before frying 裹入面糊
Fry the tempura. Immediately lay the vegetables in the hot oil. 立即放入油锅 180度油温
Working in batches, deep-fry the harder vegetables like sweet potato, carrot, or lotus root first, for about 3 minutes, until the vegetables turn golden brown. Place on the prepared tray Repeat with the other vegetables. Cook softer vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, and pumpkin for about 2 minutes. For shiso leaves, dredge only one side of the leaf with flour, and cook for about 1 minute.
Serve the vegetable tempura with the dipping sauce on the side.

the classic dipping sauce that accompanies tempura. Combine the dashi, soy sauce, and mirin in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat. As soon as the dipping sauce comes to a boil, turn off the heat. When you’re ready to serve, reheat over low heat. Grate the daikon on the coarsest side of a box grater. Squeeze out excess liquid and set aside. Grate the ginger finely. Serve the grated daikon and ginger on the side of the dipping sauce. When you’re ready to eat, add the daikon and ginger to the dipping sauce and dip the tempura into it.
