Ingredients
| Name | Rarity | Needed | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salmon | 1 fillet | ||
| Tilapia | 1 fillet | ||
| Carrots | 2 | ||
| Tempura Batter Mix | 1 cup | ||
| Italian Seasoning | 2 teaspoons | ||

| Cold Water | ¾ cup | ||
| Rice (optional) | 2 cups | ||
| Soy Sauce | 2 tablespoons | ||
| Lime Juice (optional) | 1 teaspoon |
Directions
Refrigerate water while preparing other ingredients. The water must be ice cold before use in the tempura batter.
¾ cup Water
Heat the oil in a fryer or pot, aiming for approximately 330°F (165°C).
3 cups Vegetable Oil
Slice the fish into thin pieces, about 1.5 × 1.5 inches in dimension and about ⅓ inches thick. The size does not need to be precise, so long as the pieces are thin enough to cook through in a short fry time.
1 fillet Salmon 1 fillet Tilapia
Slice the carrots into thin, chip-like pieces. These should be very thin, almost ⅛ inches in thickness.
2 Carrots
Combine tempura batter mix with italian seasoning. Briefly mix the tempura batter and cold water. Do not thoroughly mix - small clumps in the batter are better for the tempura crust.
1 cup Tempura Batter 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning ¾ cup Water
Once the oil is ready, dip pieces of fish/carrot into the batter until completely covered, then carefully lower into the oil. Fry pieces for about 2 minutes. Do not overcrowd the oil with pieces.
After about 2 minutes, remove pieces onto a rack with paper towels underneath. Repeat step 6 until all the fish and carrots are fried.
Prepare the soy sauce, optionally mixing in lime juice, for dipping. Serve with rice.
