Công thức của Japanese tempura-ya · 🏺 Truyền thống

Japanese / 日本の天ぷら — Tempura is seafood and vegetables in a light batter, deep-fried until crisp. The batter-and-fry method is widely traced to Portuguese missionaries and traders during 16th-century Nanban contact, after which Japan made the technique its own.

Các bước

Score the belly of each prawn and press gently so they stay straight; slice the vegetables into even pieces and pat everything dry.
Whisk the egg into the ice water, then tip in the flour and stir with only a few strokes — leave the batter lumpy and never overmix.
Dust the ingredients lightly with flour, dip them in the cold batter, and slip them into oil held at 170–180°C.
Fry in small batches until the coating is pale, crisp and set — don't crowd the pan or let it turn brown.
Lift onto a rack and serve at once with warm tentsuyu and grated daikon, or simply a pinch of salt.

💡 Mẹo

A cold, barely-mixed batter is the whole secret — gluten from overmixing makes tempura heavy and doughy.
Fry the vegetables first and the prawns last so seafood flavour doesn't carry into everything.
Skim stray bits of batter from the oil between batches so they don't burn and darken it.
