About Tempura
Tempura is a popular Japanese dish consisting of seafood, vegetables, or occasionally other ingredients, lightly battered and deep-fried to a crisp golden texture. The batter is typically made with cold water, flour, and eggs, creating a delicate coating that enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients. Tempura’s origins trace back to the influence of Portuguese missionaries in Japan during the 16th century. While tempura is loved for its lightness and versatility, it is a calorie-dense food due to its frying process. Some health-conscious aspects include the use of fresh vegetables like sweet potato, squash, or leafy greens, which provide vitamins and nutrients. Seafood options like shrimp offer protein and omega-3 fatty acids. However, moderation is key, as the frying oil contributes to saturated fats. Pairing tempura with a fresh salad or miso soup can help balance its nutritional profile.
