Tips & Tricks (5)
- Tempura Batter Perfection 🥣Keep your tempura batter ice-cold and minimally mixed to ensure ultra-crispy, light coating - lumps are actually desirable for that signature tempura texture.
- Cheese Curd Selection 🧀Choose fresh, squeaky cheese curds that are cold and firm to prevent melting too quickly during the frying process and maintain their structural integrity.
- Oil Temperature Precision 🌡️Maintain oil temperature between 350-375°F for perfect golden-brown tempura - use a deep-fry thermometer to ensure consistent, crispy results.
- Sriracha Mayo Hack 🌶️For maximum flavor, let your Sriracha mayo sit for 15-30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and develop complexity.
- Batch Frying Technique 🍳Fry cheese curds in small batches to prevent overcrowding and maintain oil temperature, ensuring each curd gets perfectly crispy and golden.
