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. ๐ See the end of post for details on how to vote for my Marx Foods entry!

Excellent looking tempura and sauce. I’ll go and vote now ๐
Thank you mucho! ๐ cheers!
Good luck with your submission ZBD – Love the look of your tempura… crispy and delicious ๐
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! ๐
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! ๐ Debra
Thanks for the support! ๐ Cheers!
I’ve voted.. love this tempura recipe.. and was fascinated by the flavors in your Chile, Yuzu, and Jasmine Tea Granita… very unusual!!
No meat? That is a no no in the glutton house. ๐
