Background

Japanese cooking relies on balance, whether that be balance of flavour, presentation, or texture. Tempura flakes (known in Japanese as 'tenkasu') are deliciously crispy but normally contain little flavour of their own, so their main purpose is to provide an element of crunch to dishes that would not have any otherwise, such as hot noodle soups. For more tempura-related items, take a look at japancentre.com's Flour & Panko section.
