Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 inches of neutral oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (use a thermometer).

  2. Step 2

    Mix flour and cornstarch in a bowl. Add 0.75 cup ice-cold water and stir until barely combined (lumps are fine).

  3. Step 3

    Simmer dashi and miso paste in a small pot, stirring to dissolve miso. Keep warm on low heat.

  4. Step 4

    Pat shrimp dry, then dip into batter one at a time and slide gently into hot oil.

  5. Step 5

    Fry shrimp until pale golden and crispy, 2–3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between two bowls, top with tempura shrimp, and serve with miso soup and pickled vegetables on the side.
