Tobey Maguire was spotted nibbling on vegetable Tempura at Tao Restaurant in New York City. As a supporter of the Healthy School Meals Act, could he want fried green veggies replacing french fries on school cafeteria menus?

Tao wraps numerous veggies in batter, such as onions, sweet potatoes, asparagus, onions, eggplant and even avocado.

Some tempura batters contain egg, as Vegan Yum Yum points out, but you can easily replace it with a substitute like Ener-g and fry, fry, away. When heating oil suitable for high heat, like Safflower, how can you tell the oil is hot enough before you dip? Vegan Yum Yum says to watch for the fireworks.

“When you drop a batter coated veggie in, little bits of batter will explode off the veggie outward like tempura fireworks. These bits, called tenkasu, are a good indication that your batter is hot enough.”
