If you know something about Japanese cuisine , I am sure you must know what's "Tempura"about.
It's is japanese style fritter.
My friends believe that it's difficdult , so much work and so much cleaning needed after having tempura that they hardly manage to give it a try.
But for me , it is the best food when you are busy and have no time , or when you don't have enough food in your fridge .
So today is such a day. I prepared grilled salmon , but it seemed too small to fill me up . I picked a lotus root , lady fingers , shiitake mushrooms , an eggplant .4items.
It's considered that 4 is not a good number but they are all I had in my fridge.
Cut them up dip in batter and deep fry , fry , fry .
It took me only 5minutes.
If you feel it's too troublesome , you don't have to make dipping sauce but I hope you grate daikon radish and ginger as they are digestive and helps your stomach feel light after having the oily food.
In addition to the dipping sauce , I served the tempura with truffle salt & soyabean powder salt.
Oh remember to wipe the wall and stoves with a paper towel soon after cooking .
It would take only a minute so ...
Meshiagare!(Bon apetite!)
"Tataki"is a way of cooking fish or meat(beef , horse),searing fish or meat briefly and cool down immedeately .then thinly slice.
You can use any kind of vegetables for salad with the beef .It goes well with this onion butter soysauce but it's all up to your taste.If you mind "butter",ponzu soysauce is also a good option.
