  1. For the dipping sauce : place the dashi, mirin and soy sauce into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Take off the heat immediately, leave to cool, then stir in the grated mooli or ginger. Set aside.

  2. For the tempura : whisk the egg in a bowl, then whisk in the ice cold water. Add the flour and beat lightly to make a lumpy batter.

  3. Half-fill a deep, heavy-based pan with vegetable oil and heat until a cube of bread dropped in sizzles and turns golden-brown in 30 seconds.

  4. Dust the vegetables and mushrooms in flour, then dip into the tempura batter. Fry, in small batches, for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp and lightly golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.

  5. Serve the vegetable tempura alongside a small bowl of the dipping sauce.
