Japanese Very Light Tempura Batter

1 egg
1 cup cold water
1/8 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup flour

Break egg into bowl containing iced water and whisk until frothy. Add baking soda and flour. Beat until flour is just mixed in. Don't overbeat. Batter should be so thin that the merest wisp clings to the vegetables dipped in it. If it seems too thick, add a little more iced water, and keep the batter cold.
