Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or skillet to 350°F (use a thermometer). Mix flour and club soda into a thin, lumpy batter.

  3. Step 3

    Working in batches, dip shrimp in batter and slide into hot oil. Fry 2-3 minutes per batch until golden and crispy.

  4. Step 4

    Remove shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate. Whisk soy sauce and mirin in a small bowl for dipping.

  5. Step 5

    Divide warm rice between two bowls. Top each with tempura shrimp and a mound of grated daikon.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle dipping sauce over the bowl or serve on the side. Serve hot with a cup of warm green tea.
