About Softshell crab tempura

Softshell Crab Tempura is a delectable dish rooted in Japanese cuisine, celebrated for its light, crispy texture and rich flavors. The dish features softshell crabs, which are crabs harvested shortly after molting. These crabs are coated in a delicate tempura batter made from flour, water, and sometimes egg, then deep-fried to golden perfection. Softshell crabs are a good source of protein and low in calories, while also providing essential nutrients like vitamin B12 and selenium. However, the tempura cooking method adds fat and calories due to the frying process, making moderation key. Typically accompanied by dipping sauces such as ponzu or tentsuyu, the dish may also be served as part of sushi rolls or alongside steamed rice. Though indulgent, Softshell Crab Tempura can be a unique way to enjoy seafood with a blend of crunch and umami flavors.
