This sounds wonderful! I love your recipes, but am confused with this one. Which is the tempura portion of the recipe I'm suppose to chill? Is it the ingredients above or below the "tempura recipe follows"? Isn't it a coating and so wet? I've never made anything with tempura and so don't know what goes in it. Help; I'd like to make this recipe! thanks anyone for helping.
