Method

  1. 1 Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact, make light incisions in the belly, and straighten the body; slice the eggplant and pumpkin.
  2. 2 Simmer dashi broth with soy sauce, mirin, and sugar for 5 minutes until it thickens into a glossy tare sauce.
  3. 3 Mix the flour with the eggs and cold water, stirring briefly so that the batter is still slightly lumpy; this will make the crust crispy.
  4. 4 Fry the shrimp and vegetables in oil at 175 degrees for about 2 minutes per batch until lightly golden.
  5. 5 Quickly dip each tempura piece in tare sauce and place it on top of a bowl of hot rice.
  6. 6 Drizzle some more sauce over the top and eat immediately while the crust is still crispy.
