Today’s topic is also Japanese food, Tempura. Actually, the recipe for tempura was introduced to Japan by Portuguese during the sixteenth
century. Tempura is a typical Japanese home cooked dish and it is a vegetables
and seafood dipped in batter and deep fried. And the batter is made from flour
and eggs. I think shrimp Tempura is the most popular in ingredients of Tempura.
My favorite Tempura are shrimp, mixture of vegetables and eggplant. When we eat
Tempura, we use some condiments, such as salt, soy sauce, or sauce for Tempura.
I have never tried but some people use ketchup. Tempura is also used in
combination with other foods. When Tempura served in soba, it is called Tempura
soba or tensoba. Tempura is also served on rice in a bowl, it is called tendon.
If time passes, Tempura is not crispy so eat it while it is hot!
