Lovely day at the Buford Farmer's Market

Good Evening folks:) I wanted to share this amazing recipe for Salmon, Tuna & Asparagus Tempura! I might've gotten the idea from a boy but I spiced it up a bit & made it my own. Girls are better in the kitchen anyways right? Haha just kidding guyzzzzz. Things you will need:
1.) Salmon & Tuna Steak Fillets (preferably from your local farmers market)
2.) Asparagus
3.)Tempura mix
4.)Vegatable oil( I substitute with olive oil)
5.)3/4 cups of ice water
6.)Soy sauce for dipping
To prepare Tempura batter: (box has instructions) 1cup of the tempura batter into a mixing bowl-pour the ice water into the mixture & stir until the batter is smooth without lumps. Keep the batter cold(I place in the freezer for a bit so it thickens up. Pour the oil into a pot or a deep fryer if you have one handy(I use a pot..works just as good) if using a pot make sure the oil is covering at least 2 inches-turn the heat to about medium high-cut your meat & veggies into small sushi style pieces- when you've heated the oil place the meat into the batter & drop one by one into the pot. Helpful tip:do not let the meat soak into the batter for long bc the mixture will not stick-just make sure it's coated and immediately drop into the oil. It doesn't take long at all bc the oil is so hot.. about a minute. You can always take a piece out & cut it down the middle if you aren't sure. Veggies: to be on the safe side I would make a separate bowl of tempura batter for your veggies bc the raw fish has been in the first mixture...we don't want to take a chance on getting sick! After preparing you can dip in soy sauce to add flavor!
