About Prawn tempura

Prawn Tempura is a dish rooted in Japanese cuisine, renowned for its delicate balance of crispy texture and light flavor. It consists of prawns coated in a batter made from flour, water, and eggs, then deep-fried to golden perfection. The tempura batter is designed to create a thin, airy coating that enhances the natural sweetness of the prawns without overpowering them. While prawns are an excellent source of lean protein and essential nutrients such as iodine and omega-3 fatty acids, the deep-frying process adds significant calories and fat, making tempura less healthy than grilled or steamed alternatives. Traditionally served with a light dipping sauce and paired with steamed rice or soba noodles, Prawn Tempura offers a flavorful indulgence best enjoyed in moderation.
