    What’s the recipe for the tempura batter? I’ve never heard of tempura flour – is that a chefs item? and how does he make his aioli? — don’t tease me like that Paola!

      Greetings Lisa,
      Tempura flour you can get in grocery store usually in the ethnic or specialty food aisle, you will also need it to make the batter as well, see coconut aioli recipe below

      1 can coconut milk
      1 cup coconut cream or coco lopez
      1.5 cup japanese or hellmans mayo
      salt & pepper to taste
      1/2 lemon juiced
      first put coconut milk in small sauce pot and bring to simmer, same with the coco lopez or coconut cream, reduce them both slowly till thickens and most water content is evaporated, once achieved remove from heat and let cool down, next in mixing bowl add mayo and all ingredients together and mix well, season with salt and pepper and add desired lemon juice to brighten all the flavors

      ENJOY !!!!!
