Chicken, prawn and vegetable tempura

Vegetable and prawn (or chicken) tempura

* This dish is really good to get your children to eat vegetables. It also works as well if you want to spice up the way you eat vegetables!

7-10 king prawns

1 chicken fillet, cut into small pieces

Carrots, baby corns, mushrooms, sweet potatoes and Thai pumpkin (you can use any vegetables you like)

1cup Tempura mixture (you can buy it from any Thai or Japanese supermarkets)

2 eggs

1tsp sesame seeds (optional)

2cups sunflower or vegetable oil for deep frying

Thai sweet chilli sauce or Japanese tempura sauce to serve

Japanese teriyaki sauce or Thai soy sauce to marinate the prawns, chicken and vegetables

[Marinate the prawns, chicken and vegetables in Japanese teriyaki or Thai soy sauce overnight before you do this dish. This is my secret.]

1)    Beat the eggs in a bowl.

2)    Add some sesame seeds (optional).

3)    Dip vegetables, chicken or prawns in the egg and dust them in the tempura mix.

4)    Heat the oil in a wok and wait until it is really hot. Deep fry the battered vegetables, chicken and prawns. Deep fry them until they are golden and crispy.

5)    Serve with Thai sweet chilli sauce or Japanese tempura sauce.
