Okay, here is the game plan. We are going to get our golden beer battered asparagus spears, serve them alongside a creamy lemon soy dipping sauce and they are going to make a wonderful portable thanksgiving appetizer.
Okay. First, we are going to trim up our asparagus spears. You want to use the thickest asparagus spears that you can find in this time of the hour. Contrary to popular belief that thicker the spear of the end of the plants and we just use the vegetables. We are going to heat about two cups of vegetable oil in a large skillet on high. We want to get it hot. After you have rinsed your asparagus, make sure to pat it dry so that the water does not make the oil pop. We are going to measure out one cup plus two tablespoons of tempura batter mix. We are going to take three quarters of a cup of any moderately priced light beer and add it to the tempura mix. And whisk it all together. Okay, you are going to take your asparagus spears and you’re going to take your beer batter and we are going to just toss them in there and give them all a nice even coating.
Alright, we have got our hot vegetable oil in a large skillet on high on your—you have got your beer battered asparagus spears jumbo and we are just going to lay them in there very gently. Remember, a beer tempura is going to be lighter than a water tempura so that might be wide. It is not quite a stick which is widely like them, not too heavy. We are going to let them cook for about two to three minutes until they are golden brown all the way around. It just means you are going to turn them. See how pretty that is, you can still see the vegetable under there, very light coating.
For our creamy lemon soy topping sauce, we are going to start with two heaping tablespoons of mayonnaise. I’m going to add the juice of one lemon which is going to workout to about three tablespoons. We are going to add a teaspoon of soy sauce and then mix it all together. And once it is nice and creamy, you just serve it along side of your spears.
