  • 4 fresh asparagus

  • 12 Cuca clams in water

Ingredients for the soy sauce:

  • 100 gr sugar

Preparation

Cut up all the vegetables unevenly.

For the tempura: put 200 gr flour in a bowl, with 1 tsp of baking soda, and slowly add very cold water, stirring with a whisk.

Set aside until needed.

Prepare the soy sauce by boiling the white wine vinegar with the sugar. When it has boiled for 2 minutes, remove from heat and add the soy sauce. Let it cool before using.

Heat a frying pan with abundant olive oil. Let it heat up and coat the vegetables and the clams, well drained, in the tempura mixture. Put them in the oil a few at a time. When cooked, remove from the oil and let them drain on kitchen paper.

To serve: place the tempura in the centre of the plate, shaped as a castle, and season with the Maldon salt sprinkled over it. Drizzle with the cold soy sauce.
