Tempura

The photo on the right is "Tendon". Tendon is tempura servered over rice with teriyaki sauce. The dip is not served with "Tendon".


Tempura is a deep fried food with batter, served with dip.

Kakiage is a tempura which has usually more than 3 or 4 different sliced vegetables in one.

Tendon is a bowl of rice topped with shrimp tempura and vegetable tempura poured with teriyaki sause. They are just different names depending on how tempura is served. The picture above is "Tendon" with "Kakiage".

  • 1 cup dashi
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin (available at any super market}
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
Ingredients for batter

  • 1 cup cake flour (all purpose flour is ok)
  • 1 egg well beaten
  • 4/5 cup water and a few ice cubes ( Cold water makes tempura crispy.)

  3. If the batter becomes warm while you are deep-frying, add a couple more ice cubes.
  4. Slice up vegetables for "kakiage"The photo shows sliced yellow onions, carrots, green peas, and sweet potatoes. Put all of these into the batter.
