What it is
Japan's gossamer fried seafood and vegetables: ice-cold batter, a few seconds in hot oil, and a crisp, lacy shell that shatters. Ingredients: shrimp, firm white fish, sweet potato, eggplant, pumpkin, shiso leaves, flour, egg, ice water, oil, tentsuyu dipping sauce (dashi, soy, mirin), grated daikon and ginger. Recipe: 1) Chill batter ingredients; mix flour, egg and ice water briefly — lumps are good. 2) Heat oil to 170-180°C. 3) Dust items lightly with flour, dip in batter, fry in small batches until pale gold. 4) Drain on a rack, never paper, to keep the crust dry. Serve: at once with hot tentsuyu, daikon and ginger, or over rice as tendon. Flavor: delicate, clean, the ingredient's taste amplified by crunch. History: Portuguese missionaries brought frying to Nagasaki in the 16th century; Edo street stalls made it a Tokyo icon. See also: Sushi, Tonkatsu.
