What is National Tempura Day?
National Tempura Day, on January 7th, encourages us to celebrate with a tempura batter dish. This Japanese fare dish features either seafood or vegetables dipped in batter and deep-fried.
Where did tempura originate? Where did tempura originate? No one really knows. No one really knows. What we do know is that Portuguese sailors arrived in Japan in 1549 and introduced a method of battering and frying food that is now embedded in the Japanese cuisine..
Today, chefs from around the world include tempura dishes on their menus. They use a variety of different batters and ingredients, including nontraditional broccoli, zucchini, and asparagus. Chefs also dip dry fruits in a tempura batter. In addition, many American restaurants, especially mozzarella, serve chicken and cheeses in a tempura style.
A more recent iteration of tempura sushi gives sushi enthusiasts a new way to enjoy the delicacy.. Shushi chefs tempura fry entire pieces of delicate sushi and serve it on a delectable platter..
