Bamboo Shoots and Bacon Tempura - Recipe Video

A simple and easy to understand recipe video shows how to make Bamboo Shoots and Bacon Tempura.
We wrapped grilled nori seaweed, cheese and bacon around bamboo shoots and deep-fried them. We made a taste that both children and adults will love. It goes well as finger food to go with alcohol. You can change the grilled nori seaweed to green shiso leaves for a refreshing finish. Please try it out.

Tips for cooking

Add bamboo shoots in boiling water and parboil for about 5 minutes. To make it easier for the batter to tangle to bamboo shoots, we reduced the amount of water added compared to the general tempura to make the batter thicker.
