Step 1
Heat oil to 350°F in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet using a thermometer. Pat shrimp and vegetables completely dry.
Step 2
Mix 0.5 cup flour with cold water to make a thin batter the consistency of heavy cream. Season with a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Dredge shrimp and vegetables lightly in remaining flour, then dip into batter and drop carefully into hot oil. Fry in batches without crowding.
Step 4
Cook until golden and crispy, 2-3 minutes per batch. Lift out with a slotted spoon onto a paper-towel-lined plate.
Step 5
Boil soba noodles in salted water until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain and divide between two bowls.
Step 6
Heat broth with soy sauce until steaming, then pour over noodles. Top with hot tempura and serve immediately.
