National Tempura Day: A Japanese dish enjoyed by people across the world

Tempura Day is celebrated to eat all types of dishes which are made with tempura batter. It is a Japanese food fest where people relish on some delicious Tempura prawns. Many things can be deep fired in this batter. 

Some of the common items which can be made with tempura batter are vegetables, seafood and chicken. Tempura is a traditional Japanese dish that was introduced by Portuguese in the 16th century who were residing in Nagasaki at that time. 

The Portuguese used fritter cooking to get light batter. The batter has soft wheat flour like cake flour, pastry flour and all-purpose flour which is mixed with cold water. The sparkling water can be used to keep the batter light. 

Many people add starch, spices, oil, baking soda or baking powder and eggs especially egg yolk to the batter. The batter is normally mixed in small batches. Chopsticks are used for mixing the batter and the batter is mixed only for few seconds. 

In case of any lumps left in the batter along with cold temperature depends on how unique and crisp fluffy tempura structure is created while cooking. The cooked tempura pieces are salted and eaten with dipping sauce or as they are. Tentsuyu sauce is one of the common sauce which is enjoyed with the batter. 

Many people eat it with daikon, mild-flavored winter radish and eat it straight after it is fried. The tempura is mainly found in bowls of soba or udon soup in Japan especially in shrimp, fitter or shisho leaf form.
