TEMPURA CONCLUSION

raison d’etre, and man, you lose that, you’ve
lost it all. What was important about my
recipe for Tempura Cakes was that in actual fact
the ones you are offered in the shops have no batter

in them at all.

The cake is made of fish,
with vegetables, or shrimp or
squid or whatever, and that is
why my home-made version
was so successful.

The Powell Street factory
processes the pollock and
adds the vegetables, and fries
the cakes in: a_ specially
designed deep-fryer that
starts the cakes at a low
temperature, to give fish and
vegetables time to cook, then
passes to a high temperature
oil for the browning.

Finally, an oil-press
squeezes the cakes to extract
as much of the frying oil as
possible.

And that’s why they are
such a desirable snack or
finger-food. [I’m sorry you
were left with a half-baked
story.

But if we manage to get a
lock on her this time, you
might want to do some more
barbecuing. I have to settle
for a reasonable facsimile in
the oven, but I’ll be thinking
of you. For instance, I’ve
learned something about
shish and other kebabs:

We always liked that, the

skewered with pieces of pep-

meat marinade. But it had
never occurred to me to
marinate the vegetables, too.
And the peppers and onions
and so on were always falling
off the skewer because it

vegetables separately, then
skewer them on those slender
bamboo skewers so readily
found in Oriental shops!

The bamboo should be
soaked in water while you
mix the marinade, and left in
the water for a couple of
hours while the marinade
itself mellows. Once the
vegetables are added to it,
they in turn need _ at least an
hour, so all this part tan. be
