When the prawn and vegetable is cooked, if you lift them up out of cooking oil with a pair of chopsticks you can feel tiny vibration.

When the ingredients are cooked, place them onto a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.

Step 8

Continue to coat and fry each ingredient until all done.

Place the sauce in a bowl and allow it to cool down then serve with the Tempura.
