Tempura Bacon

Lord knows that bacon needs very little to make it delicious, but every now and then it’s fun to gild the lily. I present to you: deep-fried bacon. The secret to perfectly crisp and light tempura is making sure that the liquid you use (in this case water and vodka) in the batter is ice cold. Serve this with chipotle-lime mayonnaise or Nuoc Mam Cham for dipping. Even better, serve it with both.
