Eggs need to be checked for blood -- break each egg individual into a cup, if blood is found, the egg in not kosher.

2. Beat the egg in a bowl and add ice cold water (warmer water will produce a sticky batter and more oily tempura).

3. Add flour and mix lightly. Do not overmix batter.

4. Dip vegetables or fish briefly in the batter and fry until brown.

5. Remove from the oil and drain.

6. Serve hot.

Batter dip: zuchinni, onion rings, chicken chunks, fish.

Tempura is basically the fried food of Japan. Various meats and vegetables are dipped in batter and then deep fried until lightly golden.
