PANIER DE TEMPURA ET SA GARNITURE
La tenpura (天ぷら ou 天麩羅) est un assortiment de beignets à la fois très savoureux et très digeste (une des rares fritures à basses calories), populaire au Japon depuis le XVIIe siècle.
Il s'agit d'une version plus légère d'une technique de friture (rebozado (es)) introduite par des missionnaires jésuites portugais un siècle plus tôt. La cuisine portugaise présente encore aujourd'hui une friture très similaire appelée peixinhos da horta ("petits poissons du jardin").
La tenpura est généralement servie telle quelle, dans une corbeille de bambou tressé ou une assiette, posée sur du papier absorbant. On saisit un morceau avec ses baguettes et on le plonge dans un ramequin individuel, contenant du radis noir râpé additionné de jus de citron (ou de vinaigre de riz) et de sauce de soja. Mais certains le préfèrent à la croque au sel, particulièrement pour l'apéritif. On la sert généralement accompagné de riz (en bol séparé), ou en restauration rapide, en donburi (grand bol de riz garni) ou encore en garniture pour certaines soupes de pâtes (udon et soba).

Tempura (天ぷら or 天麩羅 tenpura) is a Japanese dish of seafood or vegetables that have been battered and deep fried.
Cooked bits of tempura are either eaten with dipping sauce, salted without sauce, or used to assemble other dishes. Tempura is commonly served with grated daikon and eaten hot immediately after frying. In Japan, it is often found in bowls of soba or udon soup often in the form of a shrimp, shiso leaf, or fritter. The most common sauce is tentsuyu sauce (roughly three parts dashi, one part mirin, and one part shoyu). Alternatively, tempura may be sprinkled with sea salt before eating. Mixtures of powdered green tea and salt or yuzu and salt are also used. In Japan, restaurants specializing in tempura are called tenpura-ya and range from inexpensive fast food chains to very expensive five-star restaurants. Many restaurants offer tempura as part of a set meal or a bento (lunch box), and it is also a popular ingredient in take-out or convenience store bento boxes. The ingredients and styles of cooking and serving tempura vary greatly through the country, with importance being placed on using fresh, seasonal ingredients.
The recipe for tempura was introduced to Japan by Portuguese Jesuit missionaries particularly active in the city of Nagasaki also founded by the Portuguese, during the sixteenth century (1549). Portuguese Jesuit. Tokugawa Ieyasu, founder and first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan, reportedly loved tempura. Originally, tempura was a popular food eaten at street venders called 'yatai'(屋台) since the Genroku era.

Today, tempura is still a popular side dish at home, and is frequently eaten as a topping at soba stands. Kakiage is a type of tempura made with mixed vegetable strips, such as onion, carrot, and burdock, and sometimes including shrimp or squid, which are deep fried as small round fritters. Tempura is also used in combination with other foods. When served over soba (buckwheat noodles), it is called tempura soba or tensoba. Tempura is also served as a donburi dish where tempura shrimp and vegetables are served over steamed rice in a bowl (tendon) and on top of udon soup (tempura udon).
