Gogi Tempura Flour (Batter Mix) 150g

A Japanese kitchen staple for light, crispy tempura

Gogi Tempura Flour Batter Mix is the shortcut Japanese home cooks reach for when they want restaurant-style tempura without the guesswork. This 150g pack of batter mix is formulated to fry up into a delicately crisp, golden coating rather than the heavy, greasy batter you get from all-purpose flour. It is a favourite among fans of Japanese products for good reason, the texture stays airy and light even after frying, which is exactly what makes proper tempura so moreish.

Unlike thicker Western-style batters, this mix is designed to be thin and quick-cooking, so the natural flavour of whatever you are frying comes through rather than being buried under stodge. It sits comfortably alongside other flour and batter products in Japanese cooking, but is purpose-built for tempura rather than general baking or breading.

How to use Gogi Tempura Flour for perfect results

Preparation is simple. Tip the flour into a bowl and whisk in ice cold water a little at a time until you reach a thin, slightly lumpy batter, overmixing will develop gluten and make the coating tough, so stir briefly and stop as soon as it comes together. Dip your vegetables, prawns, fish or meat into the batter and lower straight into hot oil, frying until the coating turns a light golden brown and crisps up.

This mix works brilliantly with classic tempura vegetables like sweet potato, aubergine and green beans, as well as prawns and thin cuts of chicken or fish. Keep the oil at a steady frying temperature and avoid overcrowding the pan so each piece crisps evenly. Pair your tempura with a light dipping sauce and rice for a proper Japanese-style meal, and if you need cooking oil suited to deep frying, that is easy to pick up in the same shop.
