Cooking tips
- Marinating squid with sesame oil beforehand effectively eliminates the fishy odor and adds a rich, savory aroma after cooking.
- Using buckwheat flour and organic rice flour instead of regular tempura flour or wheat flour results in a lighter, crispier texture without heaviness or gumminess.
- Since seafood and vegetables release a lot of moisture, adjust the water amount slightly lower than measured when preparing the batter—this is key to achieving crispiness.
Recommended for
- Those seeking a high-end traditional side dish to enjoy with well-aged traditional rice wine on rainy days.
- People who prefer a thinner batter without heavy wheat flour and appreciate the rich, authentic flavors of green onions and seafood.
- Individuals who want deep umami taste using only natural ingredients, without artificial seasonings.
