Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Club soda
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels and cut the fish into smaller pieces if desired for ease of frying.
Step 2
In a deep frying pan or a deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 3
While the oil is heating, prepare the tempura batter. In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
Add the club soda slowly to the flour mixture and stir gently to incorporate. The batter should be slightly lumpy but well combined.
Step 5
Add ice cubes to the batter to keep it cold, and stir briefly just before using.
Step 6
Dip each piece of fish into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.
Step 7
Carefully place the battered fish pieces into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Cook each piece for about 3-4 minutes or until the batter is golden brown and crispy. Flip the fish halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Remove the fried fish from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 10
Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon or your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce.
