Hotate Tempura is a crispy and delicious dish that combines the sweetness of hotate with the light and airy texture of tempura batter. To make this tempura, you will need fresh hotate, tempura batter mix, ice-cold water, vegetable oil for frying, and dipping sauce. Start by preparing the tempura batter according to the instructions on the package. Dip the hotate in the batter, making sure they are evenly coated. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to about 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the battered hotate in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel. Serve the hotate tempura with a side of dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or tempura sauce. Enjoy the delightful combination of the crispy tempura coating and the tender hotate inside.
