About Tempura sauce

Tempura sauce, a staple of Japanese cuisine, is a flavorful condiment traditionally paired with tempura-fried dishes. This savory dipping sauce is made from a blend of soy sauce, mirin (a mildly sweet rice wine), dashi (a Japanese soup stock usually derived from kombu seaweed or bonito flakes), and sugar. Occasionally, grated daikon radish is added for a refreshing twist. The sauce's balance of umami, sweetness, and saltiness complements the crisp texture of tempura. While tempura sauce is low in fat, its sodium content from soy sauce may be a consideration for those monitoring salt intake. Mirin contributes a small amount of sugar, though it’s typically consumed in moderation. Rich in flavor but simple in composition, tempura sauce can elevate fried vegetables and seafood while offering a glimpse into the traditional flavors of Japan. It’s best enjoyed freshly made to preserve its bright and aromatic profile.
