First attempt at veggie tempura (and it’s GF!)

1. Well done!
   For the okra, one trick is to put them in a netting bag (think bag of onions) and lightly rub them to abraise them. Then pat dry with a towel before battering and frying.

2. I knew it was Namiko’s recipe without the need to click on your link, great stuff

3. That looks fabulous! Good going!

4. Looks good

5. Potato or corn starch can also be used to make delicious breading! We use this recipe for both karaage and tempura: https://japan.recipetineats.com/japanese-fried-chicken-karaage-chicken/

6. My Dad introduced me to his heritage and these treats when I was a small child. Absolutely love tempura. These look great. How could a child NOT like their vegetables when they’re tempura fried? Lol 😂

7. Not bad for a first attempt. If you want more batter on the end result, try dribbling raw batter into oil first, then push around the veggie so the loose batter sticks to it.

   [Observe how this guy does it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDXIF8VwP18). DON’T use your bare fingers. But DO see what he does with extra batter.
