Ingredients
 

  • 4 tbsp flower
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (cornstarch)
  • 25 cl blond beer
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • salt and pepper
  • lemon juice
  • 6 flat firm white fish ((doesn’t have to be an expensive one))
  • Tartare
  • 2 egg yolks

Instructions

Preparation

  • If fish from the freezer is used let it thaw

Tempura

  • Take a large bowl and put in the flour and cornstarch
  • Separate the eggs and add the yolks to the flour/cornstarch
  • Add 2/3 of the beer
  • Stir gently then firmly until you have a homogeneous mass.
  • If necessary, add the rest of the beer until you get the right thickness. The dough may be quite runny.
  • Let the tempura dough rest for 15 minutes

Fish

  • Cut the (almost) thawed fish fillets diagonally into strips of at least 1 centimeter. Because you cut diagonally, you can make “longer” strands.
  • Place the cut fish on paper towels in such a way as to absorb excess moisture.
  • Drizzle with lemon and season fish with salt and pepper

Bake

  • A few bakes to go? Then preheat the oven to 120°.
  • Heat the oil in a deep (wok) pan to around 170°
  • Dip a portion of fish in the tempura dough
    vis in tempura
  • 1 by 1, remove the fish from the tempura dough, making sure the excess dough falls off and carefully place them in the oil
  • Leave each serving min. Fry for 3-5 minutes.
  • Place the fried fish on kitchen paper for a minute such that excess fat is absorbed.
  • Place the fried fish in a dish and sit in the oven.
  • Begin the next bake.

Serve

  • Scatter the fried fish on a plate
  • Sprinkle with sea salt
  • Choose your favorite dipping sauce, here I choose tartare
  • If you serve this as a main course then top this dish with (spinach) mashed potatoes or French fries.
