Tempura

Source: https://i.pinimg.com

Most Westerners know this dish to be seafood dipped in a batter-mix and deep fried. Usually shrimp or prawns. But it can also come in fish or fowl, or vegetables. It comes with a dipping sauce made from soy, sugar, sweet sake, broth, radish, and ginger (depends on the restaurant really). While it is deep-fried, it should never be oily. What most people don’t realize is that tempura was not invented by the Japanese completely. It was the Jesuit missionaries from Portugal that introduced Japan to the art of batter-frying in the 16th century. Great dish that goes well with beer. Or you can have it served with a bowl of rice as a main course. The choice is yours.
