Sardine tempura

• 1 can Formosa Gourmet Sardines in vegetable oil
• 3 carrots*
• 1 handful green beans*
• 1.5 liter vegetable oil for frying

*can be replaced with vegetables of your choice, for example sweet potato, mushroom or zucchini.

Batter:

• 1 egg
• 2 dl all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 dl ice-cold water

Chili-lime mayo:

• 1 small chili
• 1 lime
• Mayonnaise

Mix the mayonnaise, pieces of chili and lime juice.

Keep in the fridge while making the tempura.

Put a pan of water to boil.

Slice the vegetables into smaller pieces. Boil for 6 min then rinse with ice-cold water. Take out the sardines from the can.

Put a wide frying pan on a medium heat with the vegetable oil.

Make the tempura batter: mix egg and flour with water to a thick batter.

Put the sardines and the vegetables into the tempura batter to coat them and then carefully put a few of them in the oil.

Fry one side and then turn over and fry the other side. When they have a golden color, they are done.

Serve immediately together with the chili-mayo.

Bom apetite!
