Nori Tempura with Ginger Dipping Sauce
3-4 sheets untoasted nori
canola oil for deep frying

batter:  1 cup unbleached white flour, 1 tsp. kuzu or 1/4 c. arrowroot, 1 pinch sea salt, cold water to make pancake batter-like consistency

dipping sauce: 1/4 cup water, 1 TB. shoyu, ginger juice

1. Cut each nori sheet into 4 equal squares. Then cut each square diagonally so you end up with 8 triangles from each sheet. Set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a small cast iron skillet.
3. In a little bowl, mix the flour, kuzu (or arrowroot) , and salt with the water to get a pancake batter-like consistency.
4. Test the oil to make sure it is hot enough by dropping a drop of the batter into the oil. The batter should immediately come to the surface. Do not let the oil overheat and smoke. If you do - start over.
5. Dip one side of each of the nori triangles, one at a time into the batter, wipe off the excess batter on the side of the bowl, and then drop thenori triangle into the hot oil. Only do 2 or 3 at a time so the oil stays the same temperature. When the battered side turns golden, remove the nori triangle with chopsticks and put on to a paper towel so it stays crispy. Continue to add new triangles and take out the golden ones until you are finished. Do not let the triangles touch each other on the paper towel so they stay crispy.
6. Mix the dipping sauce (grating the ginger on a fine grater and squeezing only the juice into the water/shoyu mix).
