Dinner on 30/05/08

Menu: kakiage tempura with dipping sauce, rice and miso soup
I only took a photo of tempura and sauce, but we had it with rice and miso soup. Kakiage tempura means mixed tempura and we would use shredded vegetables for it. On the day, I used carrots, onions, hijiki (a type of seaweed) and burdock. I made tempura batter, and put in shredded vegetables, and scooped some out with a spoon and deep-fried it. In Japan, we have tempura sauce called tentsuyu, and you could make it from scratch, but most of us use already made one. Can you see the sort of bottle in the photo? That's my favourite one. The sauce is very useful, and you can use it in all sorts of dishes.
