Tempura flakes, also known as tenkasu, are crispy fragments derived from deep-fried tempura batter, commonly used in Japanese cuisine. Made from a simple mixture of wheat flour, water, and eggs, these flakes are the result of leftover batter fried during the tempura cooking process. They add crunch and a mild, savory flavor to a variety of dishes, such as sushi rolls, udon noodles, and rice bowls. While tempura flakes are a flavorful topping, they are not inherently nutritious, as they are high in refined carbohydrates and contain minimal protein or vitamins. Additionally, the deep-frying method contributes to their high calorie and fat content, making them best enjoyed sparingly when incorporated into meals. Despite their indulgent nature, tempura flakes are celebrated for their delightful texture and ability to enhance the sensory experience of many traditional Japanese dishes.
