tempura
Fried battered seafood
Tempura is a Japanese dish of seafood or vegetables coated in light batter and deep-fried until crisp.
The batter, made with cold water and minimal mixing, creates a delicate, lacy coating rather than a heavy crust: shrimp tempura, vegetable tempura.
Tempura is typically served with a dipping sauce or over rice or noodles.
