Dynamite Mushroom Tempura

• In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

• While rice cooks, in a medium bowl, whisk together tempura mix, Fry Seasoning, 1⁄3 cup cold water, and ½ tsp salt (use 2⁄3 cup cold water and 1 tsp salt for 4 servings). TIP: If needed, add more water 1 TBSP at a time until the mixture reaches a pancake-batter-like consistency. • Stir mushrooms into batter until fully coated.

• Toss green beans on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.

• Meanwhile, heat a 1⁄3-inch layer of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to the pan, use tongs to add coated mushrooms in a single layer. (TIP: You may need to work in batches.) Cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes on the first side and 1-2 minutes on the second side. • Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper- towel-lined plate. Season with salt.
