My stepfather’s recipe. We always love when Pop Pop makes his tempora!

ingredients

Chilean Sea Bass or other white fish
Shrimp
Assorted Vegetables: onion rings, eggplant, zucchini, sweet potatoes, broccoli, green beans, etc.
2 cups water
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour + more for dredging
4 part cooking oil
Dipping Sauce:
1 cup clam juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup grated fresh ginger
1 part sesame oil

1
Put 2 cups water in a large bowl. Add 2 eggs. Whisk together as you add flour -- about 2 1/2 cups, maybe more, like pancake batter but a little lighter.
2
Heat oil on high until bubbles form.
3
Dip seafood or vegetables in flour then batter. Drop in oil. Turn down heat so seafood/vegetables bubble gently. Cook until starts to brown: fish about 5 minutes, shrimp and vegetables about 3 minutes.
4
Mix dipping sauce ingredients together and serve with tempora.
