  I thought this recipe was great, all ingredients easy to access and one can make it either mild or spicy.

  I was very suprised at how good this is, it really is very good indeed, really tastes like the real thing! I will keep the fried "tempura" chicken for a special treat and make it a little healthier for "everyday" dinner time and just stir fry the chicken plain with the veg and then pour over the cooked sauce, yumdiddleumptious!

  Really good. Had one problem with the tempura batter. Followed the recipe but found the batter didn't stick to the chicken very well, think the batter was to thin? Next time i try this will add a little less water.

  Try this with pork. Use pork collar or pork ribeye.

  Tried this one over the weekend. Didn't realise until after buying the ingredients, that a deep-fat frier was needed, which I don't have! Had to improvise a little using Jon Torode's recipe also on this website, but we were thrilled with the results. It was my first venture into frying in this manner, but once I got the temperature just right, the results were beautiful! The sauce is delicious too. Definitely give this one a try!
