Plum-flavord Nagaimo Tempura

Umeboshi paste (pickled plum), popular in Japan, and ooba (beefsteak plant) leaves are sandwiched between sliced nagaimo (Chinese yam) rings. These sandwiches are covered with a flour-based batter and fried. A dish featuring the sourness of plum and the fresh and distinct flavor of ooba.

  • A [200cc cold water , 1/2 egg yolk, 100-130g four (adjust amount as required)]
  • Oil for frying - as required
  • (If available) Green chili and lemon juice to taste
