Tempura Eggplant is a Japanese-inspired dish featuring slices of eggplant coated in a light, airy tempura batter and deep-fried to golden perfection. The batter is traditionally made from a simple mix of flour, egg, and ice-cold water, which creates a crisp texture without being overly heavy. Eggplant, a nutrient-dense vegetable, is rich in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins like B6 and K. While the cooking method involves frying, which adds calories and fat, using a neutral oil and draining excess grease helps moderate its indulgence. This dish is popular in Japanese cuisine, often served as part of tempura platters or alongside dipping sauces like tentsuyu. Tempura Eggplant provides a satisfying balance of creamy vegetable texture and crispy exterior, making it an ideal appetizer or side. Pair it with fresh salads or steamed rice for a more balanced meal.
