i've used the HIME brand before, and another one, but this Showa one, made in Japan and all, has got pics but the instructions are in Japanese only.

Looks like one pic says 160cc of some clear liquid - looks like water..


another pic shows 100g of another liquide, white, milk?

next pic shows a yellow batter already...

so it's water, (iced I dont know) mixed with either milk or some solution with the white tempura powder...

and then combine all...


Strange if it's milk, and strange there are no pics showing when to incorporate the tempura powder...

What I've used in the past is iced cold water and stirred in the tempura powder only until incorporating.. so it's lumpy.

I've also seen adding an egg...

anyone with Tempura experience, Showa even?

Post a better quality pic and I can tell you, I think the white stuff is the powder...

I don't think it says anything about an egg...

pic1: for every 100g of tempura powder, 160cc of water

pic2:add water, whip until creamy *note: no need for eggs

pic3:eek:il temp 160-180C. don't add more tempura than what will cover 50% of the oil's surface area

pic4:eek:nce the batter hardens and the bubbling starts to calm down it is done.

damn i'm hungry, want shrimp tempura!

cool... wish i can read Japanese, I'm so jealous. Thank you.

Now, I'll have to figure out how much is 100g and 160cc.


Kami, it does not make any mention about water being cold/icy?

note to self: 100 grams powder = 3.5273962 ounce

3.5273962 ounce [US, liquid] strange, converts to liquid = 7.0547924 Tablespoon [US]


160 cubic centimeter water = 5.4102436 ounce [US, liquid]

or

5.4102436 ounce [US, liquid] = 10.8204872 Tablespoon [US]


looks like ratio is 7Tablespoons dry to 11Tablespoons wet.
