Tempura Fish

Ingredients:

• 200 g       seafood, in chunks (whole shrimp or oysters are perfect)
• 1              egg yolk
• 1 cup       ice cold sparkling water
• 1/8 t.        baking soda
• 1/2 t.        salt
• 1/4 cup    corn starch
• 3/4 cup    rice flour or all-purpose flour
•                 Peanut or canola oil for frying

Preparation:

Tempura is about preparation and speed, heat and light and air. Remember this and you will succeed and make beautiful, crispy, light and healthy fried seafood -- yes, I said "healthy." Done properly, the oil in the deep-fryer stays in the deep fryer, and you get only a smidge on your food.
