I often skip it when wanting to get the cleaner taste with the dish (as in the fukinoto tempura in this recipe), making only a small amount of tempura or when having no plan to use any remaining beaten eggs (because tempura batter for two persons does not require lots of eggs). For fukinoto in particular, yolks in tempura batter soften the bitterness of the vegetable to some degree, so I do add egg when serving it to someone who is not familiar with its taste or fukinoto is especially bitter.<br /><br />necohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07889139160253798929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094628865833667729.post-6466920546152654902018-04-02T22:58:26.674-07:002018-04-02T22:58:26.674-07:00This was great.
