Ingredients
2 servings udon noodles
8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
1 cup tempura batter mix
1 cup ice-cold water
3 cups dashi broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
1 radish, thinly sliced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
1. In a saucepan, combine dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, then keep warm.
2. Cook udon noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
3. Make shallow cuts on the underside of each shrimp to prevent curling while frying.
4. Mix tempura batter with ice-cold water until just combined. Batter should be lumpy.
5. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Dip shrimp in batter and fry in batches for 2–3 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels.
6. Divide noodles between bowls. Pour hot broth over them.
7. Top with fried shrimp tempura, radish slices, and scallions. Serve immediately.
