TEMPURA
Tempura is a traditional Japanese dish. You can either have it in a seafood variant or all vegetable variants. What’s amazing about this dish is that it is cooked in deep fried oil but it does not have an oily texture when you eat it.
This is a simple dish that is served with your choice of dip but usually it is served with tetsuya sauce. There are mainly three tips on how to perfectly achieve a tasty tempura. First, is the way a tempura batter is made. Tempura is cooked by coating the ingredients with batter and deep-frying them. However, it is recommended to use only flour and water in a 1:1 ratio to pursue that professional taste. Second, is the temperature of the oil. The appropriate temperature is 170℃. To make the oil temperature stable, the amount should be carefully cooked at a time as well as the timing. Tempura pans with thermometers are very convenient. Lastly, the water inside the ingredients. To cook a tasty tempura, the water should evaporate inside the ingredients by deep-frying them in high temperature oil so that the ingredients are moderately dry and crispy when they are done. That’s it, you can then achieve a tasty tempura.
