When it comes to delicacies from various countries, food lovers may be familiar with them. For example, China’s eight major cuisines, German ham, French foie gras, Japanese sashimi, etc. Of course, for ordinary people like us, there are some delicacies that we know their names but don’t know exactly what they are. For example, Japanese tempura is very popular in Japan. So what exactly is a "templar woman"? Why do Japanese people prefer tempura?

Tempura originated in Japan, to put it simply. It is a product made by coating some seafood in batter and frying it. Why do you do this? In fact, this is due to the geographical characteristics of Japan. Japan is an island country, surrounded by the sea, and has very little land per capita. It is difficult to grow vegetables on a large scale, so seafood has become the main dish of the Japanese. There are actually relatively few seafood methods in Japan, and the storage time is short. Therefore, this method of frying, which can create a new flavor and store it for a long time, has been warmly welcomed in Japan. .

Although it sounds simple, the production process and material requirements for tempura are actually very strict. For example, the seafood inside tempura must be fresh and seasonal. If it is not seasonal seafood, the taste of the tempura will be slightly astringent. At the same time, for the external wrapping paste, thin flour with reduced gluten must be used. Moreover, the thickness of this flour also has very strict requirements when wrapping seafood. At the same time, aspects such as the temperature of the oil and the cooking time must be strictly controlled. If there is a slight deviation, the final taste and appearance will be very different.

Having said this, it is not difficult to see that for the Japanese, tempura is not only a delicacy, but also represents a craftsmanship. This is also the reason why gourmets prefer tempura. , what they taste is not only food, but also a spiritual quality.
