Ingredients

Honey and soy dipping sauce

juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon chopped coriander

2 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted

500 gram skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1cm strips

1/3 cup plain flour (plus extra for dusting)

1/3 cup cornflour

1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

150 millilitre sparkling mineral water or soda water

2 ice cubes

1 egg white, whisked until frothy

peanut oil, for deep-frying

stir-fried snow peas, to serve

Method

1.To make dipping sauce, mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.

2.Toss salmon in a little plain flour, shaking off excess. Set aside.

3.Half-fill a deep-fryer or large heavy-based saucepan with oil and heat until a cube of bread sizzles immediately when added.

4.Meanwhile, sift flours and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Add the water, ice and egg white. Mix gently – the batter should be quite lumpy. Season to taste.

5.Dip salmon into batter, draining off excess. Deep-fry in batches, for 2-3 minutes, until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towel. Serve tempura with dipping sauce and snow peas.

For a more substantial meal, serve with rice and stir-fried Asian greens.
