Fried tempura is a popular Japanese dish featuring seafood, vegetables, or other ingredients lightly coated in a delicate batter and deep-fried to a golden crisp. Ingredients commonly include shrimp, sweet potato, pumpkin, zucchini, or mushrooms. The batter, made from flour, egg, and cold water, creates a light, airy texture, and the frying process ensures a crisp exterior while maintaining the ingredients' natural flavors inside. While tempura provides protein and nutrients from its fresh seafood and vegetables, its deep-fried preparation leads to higher calorie and fat content, making it less ideal for low-fat diets. However, when consumed in moderation and paired with lighter accompaniments like steamed rice or soup, tempura can be a satisfying treat. Traditionally served with a dipping sauce called tentsuyu, made from soy sauce, mirin, and dashi, tempura is a flavorful, well-loved dish in Japanese cuisine known for its balance of texture and taste.
