How To Make Tempura At Home

Takahiro Sakaeda of Nami Nori in NYC demonstrates how to make tempura, a beloved Japanese dish by way of Portugal. Takahiro starts by making two dipping sauces, a traditional tentsuyu dip and a yuzu flavored soy sauce. Next, he prepares a variety of veggies and seafood, like sweet potato, corn, eggplant, squid, and much more. Finally, he fries each piece in a light batter, resulting in crispy, dippable bites.

Though he could tempura green tomatoes as they have low moisture content and crisp amazingly well.

[@GoldVP...]

Love it!! Thank you! I do a lot of sunflower oil frying, and my favorite is thin halibut in tempura, when the tempura is almost watery, yet clingable. No lumps!! Oil needs to be hot! Have a large towel or blanket nearby! That suffocates all flame! 350°- 360° cooking temperature, because 400° will start smoking. All temps are in Fahrenheit. Subscribed...love your abilities in a envious way lol 😉

That’s good tempura, I also sprinkle, splash and do a rain drop effect in to hot oil when everything is cooking because it creates a snow flash effect

[@black6jorge]

The Portuguese version is called Peixinhos da horta , typical from Lisbon . It was created in order to give navigators access to vegetables, without being fried they would rotten very easy.

[@TsunamiWombat]

Righto, and it was introduced by Japan during the cultural and religious exchange with Portugese traders that took place before the Tokugawa Shogunate. Japanese Tempura was a way for the Japanese to adhere to catholic dietary restrictions. I can only imagine how that meeting went down. "And on this holy day, you don't eat any meat at all, only vegetables and that which lives in water!" "...so like everyday?" History of Catholicism in Japan is fascinating stuff, shame how it uh, turned out.
