Lotus Tuber & Other Vegetable Tempura By Tuckfook Ng, Penang, Malaysia

Tempura batter mix from the supermarket and prepare per instructions.

Prepare vegetables, eg. carrots, eggplant, potatoes, capsicum and of course the lotus tuber. Cut the tuber perpendicularly into thin slices, 1/8 inch maximum.

Dip in batter and quickly deep fry. I eat as quickly as I can fry.

You can also add shrimps, fish, and whatever you fancy for the tempura. Remember to keep the slices thin for the quick cooking times.
