Definition
A Japanese cooking technique where seafood or vegetables are coated in light batter and deep-fried.
Etymology
From Portuguese 'têmporas,' referring to Ember Days when Catholics ate fish instead of meat. Portuguese missionaries introduced this frying technique to Japan in the 16th century, where it was adapted and refined.
Kelly Says
Tempura is a beautiful example of culinary cross-pollination - a Portuguese Catholic fasting tradition became one of Japan's most iconic cooking methods. The Japanese perfected the technique so thoroughly that most people think it's originally Japanese!
