    2. In a 3-qt saucepan, heat 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees. Working in batches of 3 or possibly 4 pcs, dredge shrimp, sweet potato slices, bell pepper rings and asparagus spears in batter to coat completely, letting excess drip off and fry, turning, till golden brown, about 3 min. Transfer tempura as fried to brown paper with tongs to drain and season with salt. Serve with dipping sauce (recipe follows).
    3. Yield: 4 servings
    4. DIPPING SAUCE:Heat soy sauce, sugar and ginger till sugar dissolves, add in rice vinegar and scallions.
