The Story
Tempura came to Southeast Asia by way of Japan, where the light, airy batter was perfected centuries ago. On a Thai menu it offers a lighter, more delicate way to enjoy king prawns - crisp on the outside, tender within, without the weight of a heavy batter.
Kat's version keeps the tail on and the batter light, served with a sweet plum sauce that balances the savoury prawn.
An elegant, lighter prawn starter, made fresh in St Albans.
