Tempura powder is a specially formulated blend of flour, starch, and seasonings, designed to create the light, crispy batter characteristic of Japanese tempura dishes. This premixed powder simplifies the process of making tempura batter, ensuring a consistent texture and flavor that perfectly complements a variety of ingredients.
Chefs use tempura powder to coat vegetables, seafood, and meats before deep-frying, resulting in a delicately crisp exterior that enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients while maintaining a light and airy bite.
