Assorted Tempura is a popular Japanese dish featuring a variety of lightly battered and deep-fried ingredients. Typically, it includes vegetables like sweet potato, zucchini, and eggplant, as well as seafood such as shrimp or fish. The ingredients are coated in a simple batter made from flour, water, and egg, which creates a delicate, crisp texture when fried. Originating in Japan, tempura is celebrated for its lightness compared to other fried foods, as it's fried briefly at high temperatures to minimize oil absorption. Nutritionally, it offers a mix of vitamins and minerals from the vegetables and protein from the seafood. However, its high-fat content from the frying process and refined flour in the batter make it a less healthy option when consumed frequently or in large portions. Pairing tempura with dipping sauces and steamed rice helps balance the meal while keeping portions moderate.
