Crispy Tempura and Other Fried Food

No one likes a soggy fried anything!  If you want a very light a crispy tempura, use rice flour.  If you do not have rice flour you can make it by using a Vitamix Blender or other powerful blender. Just put a cup of rice in and process for 30 seconds.  You will have some very light rice flour.  Use this instead of an all purpose flour and your tempura will be very light and crispy - Just make sure the oil is at the right temperature!!

For other fried foods I use panko bread crumbs in a three bread system.  Flour - eggs - bread crumbs. These will make big difference.
