My five year old help to make the batter while I did the veggies which turned out well. Good recipe that the kids can help with...and nothing like tempura to have kids eating vegetables they normally don't like to eat!

very easy!! great base batter...able to add whatever you want. I mixed in stand mixer and still turned out good. Next time will add some of our favorite seasonings.

This is just a comment not a review. That said, I want to say this is the basic recipe I have used for tempura get togethers since the early '60s. I've used it for just about everything. My favorites are broccoli, cauliflower, chicken, snowpea pods(stick about 5-6 of them on a toothpick), small onions quartered(stick on toothpick, also), sweetpotatoes(yams), mushrooms(whole), pepper chunks, shrimp, and firm fleshed fish. We've even done dessert tempura with fruits and cake chunks, with chocolate dipping sauce and/or fruit sauces. Boy, did you bring back memories. This goes into my cookbook. Lee

Fantastic! I've tried several other tempura batter recipes, and this is by far the best! So simple!
