Fried ice cream in asian style
Fried ice cream is a popular dish in Asian – Japanese, Chinese, Thai restaurants. Here this delicacy is prepared in a special type of batter – tempura. You will need: – 500 g of vanilla ice cream; – 1 cup wheat flour; – 1 chicken egg; – 1 cup of ice water; – 1 teaspoon of baking soda; – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; – vegetable oil for deep fat.
Take a sheet of parchment, line it on a tray or large cutting board, and use a spoon that makes neat, pretty balls to lay out the ice cream. Place the treat in the freezer for an hour or more.
When the ice cream is ready, turn tempura. In a medium bowl, sift the wheat flour and baking soda, add the egg and whisk until light foam, add ice water and vanilla extract, knead into a smooth mixture. It is best to keep tempura in a bowl filled with ice.
In a deep fryer or saucepan, heat the oil to a light smoke. Dip scoops of ice cream in tempura and place in hot oil. When the batter turns golden, take out the fried ice cream with special tongs and place on paper towels that can absorb excess fat. Serve with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
For a Japanese dish, ice cream with mat-cha, vanilla, red bean flavors is suitable.
