Vegetable Tempura Recipe

Combine sweet potatoes, carrots, onions, and green beans in a large bowl. Add flour and salt; toss to coat well. Set aside.

Make the tempura batter: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl; do not over-mix. Pour batter onto vegetable mixture and toss to coat.

Pour oil into a heavy-bottomed pan until 1 inch deep. Heat over medium heat. Drop coated vegetables, 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time, into hot oil. Do not overcrowd pan. Fry for 5 to 6 minutes, turning once or twice. Drain on a wire rack.

Make the dipping sauce: Combine all ingredients in a saucepot. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Serve sauce on the side.
