We had a sushi night last Saturday and it was amazing! I’m doing a 40 day yoga challenge and one of my commitments was to NOT eat meat… so I haven’t had any meat but some occasional seafood. I’m halfway through it and doing well.
See the end of post for details on how to vote for my Marx Foods entry!
These tempura veggies are a light and tasty snack or side to a meal.

Veggies:
You can use what ever veggies you would like. I like sweet potato, bell peppers, Carrots, and Brocoli. Make sure you don’t slice too thick.
Awesome Sauce:
- 1/2 C. Soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp. Sesame oil
- 1 TBS. Green onion

- 1/2 clove of garlic, minced

Instructions:
- Slice veggies and make sauce.
- Heat fryer oil to 375 degrees.

- Place on paper towel. Repeat until done.
- Serve with sauce.

Thank you mucho!
cheers!
A great recipe, ZBD! I’ve just voted for you and in that greatest of Chicagoan traditions, I’m off to figure out a way to vote again … and again … and again …
Thanks John! I really appreciate the support!
Yum! I’ve never tried tempura at home, but I just may have to now. Glad you’re going meat-free for a bit and it’s going well!
Thanks Lauren! 2 more days!
I wanted to see the awesome sauce (I mean, I saw the photograph, but “awesome sauce” interested me more than tempura). I was surprised to see that there was no yuzu in it — are you slipping? Perhaps a few brain cells missed their carnivorous diet. Off to vote now…
Hahahah thank you! I know I don’t know what I was thinking by not adding the Yuzu! I’m going insane I guess!
You find the most interesting contests, Jen! I will, of course, vote! I enjoy a good tempura and the sauce looks wonderful!

No meat? That is a no no in the glutton house.
