The Method Of Making Tempura Fish
Tempura, a beloved dish around the world, is known as one of the "Three Flavors of Edo" along with sushi and soba. Its unique charm lies not only in the diversity of ingredients but also in the indispensable dipping sauce. Tempura does not refer to a specific dish but rather a category of Japanese foods that are coated in batter and fried. The specific name varies depending on the main ingredients used. For instance, when vegetables are the main component, it is called vegetable tempura; when seafood is the main ingredient, it is called seafood tempura; and when a variety of ingredients are mixed, it is called mixed tempura. Today, we will mainly focus on tempura fish, which uses fish as the main ingredient.
To make tempura fish, first, select the ingredients. Take the smelt as an example. First, defrost the smelt naturally and clean it thoroughly. Remove the gills and intestines from the gill area. Smelt is rich in roe, so be careful not to slit the belly, otherwise the roe will be lost. After the initial processing, use kitchen paper to absorb the excess water from the smelt. Add cooking wine, salt and ginger slices and marinate for 15 minutes. Pour tempura flour into a bowl, add ice water and one egg, and gently stir until it is slightly granular. Gently coat the marinated smelt with a thin layer of flour and shake off the excess. Then coat the smelt with tempura batter to ensure even coverage.
Pour sufficient oil into the pot and heat it to 170-180°C. Put the fish wrapped in batter into the oil and fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. After frying, remove the tempura fish and place it on kitchen paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
During the frying process of tempura fish, the control of moisture is particularly crucial. The suitable oil temperature range for frying tempura is approximately between 160 and 190 degrees Celsius. In this high-temperature environment, the surface of the ingredients undergoes rapid changes, while the internal temperature remains below 100 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the tempura fish is actually a process of the outer skin cracking and the inside being slowly roasted in the oil. To make high-quality tempura fish, it is necessary to precisely grasp this balance.
Fresh ingredients are the soul of tempura. Therefore, to make delicious tempura fish, the quality of the fish is extremely important. Fresh fish, after being properly processed, can become the best ingredients for tempura batter. Each piece of fish meat retains its original flavor. The essence of tempura lies in that thin layer of batter. Our tempura batter is made with specially formulated batter, which coats the ingredients just right, ensuring both the crispiness of the crust and the preservation of the freshness of the ingredients.
