January 7th is National Tempura Day. So shared Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm. And she is hosting the Sunday Funday group to share any and all tempura recipes.
Stacy of Food Lust People Love, Sue of Palatable Pastime, Rebekah of Making Miracles, and Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm coordinate this low-stress group; we only participate when we are inspired. As I mentioned, Wendy is hosting this week. Here's our tempura menu...

Tempura Green Beans
There is a burger place we go to that offers tempura green beans as an alternative to French fries or onion rings. I knew that I wanted to share my process for this week's event.
green beans, trimmed
1 cup flour
1 egg
200 milliliters sparkling water
Also needed: canola oil, sesame oil (1 teaspoon per each cup of canola)
Pour oil into a large pot, to about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch depth adding about 1 teaspoon sesame oil for each cup of canola oil. Heat until a small drop of water into the oil causes it to sputter and spit.
Batter
Make sure all of your ingredients are cold. Place the flour and egg in a mixing bowl. Pour in the sparkling water and gently mix with chopsticks. You don't want to over-mix.
When the oil reaches the right temperature, dip the vegetables in the batter, letting the excess drip off before placing it in the oil.
Fry until golden and remove beans from the oil. Transfer the tempura to a paper towel-lined platter to remove the excess oil.
Repeat until all of your beans are cooked. Serve immediately.
Happy National Tempura Day! The Sunday Funday crew will be back next week sharing Chinese recipes as Renu hosts us for Chinese New Year. Stay tuned.
When it was introduced in link 1999, the original Datograph caused a seismic shift in the watch world. The mix of modern technology used to create and manufacture such a beautifully complex flyback chronograph movement, combined with the best hand-finishing the brand could achieve, created something nearly link perfect – at least from my modern perspective. Sure, it's a bit thick and link a bit heavy (especially in platinum), but it's still a grail for me and many others.
The seconds hand adds a pop of color, link though link it still blends in with the overall blue vibe of the link watch's design language. It, too, has a special significance, meant to pay homage to "the district’s history with Komparu, a traditional Japanese color named after Komparu Street, where Ginza's nightlife was once centered."
These green beans tempura look so scrumptious and addictive!
I'm not sure I could share! So snackable!
