What are the main dishes in Japanese food?

The main dishes in Japanese cuisine are tempura, Japanese ramen and sushi. Japanese cuisine is recognized worldwide as the most meticulously prepared international cuisine, which contributes to its refined and healthy eating philosophy.

1. Tempura: In Japanese cuisine, dishes fried in batter are collectively called tempura. It is a dish that can be served at casual meals and banquets. Tempura is most often made with egg batter, and the batter is called tempura batter, the flour used to make the batter. Tempura noodles made from this batter are thin and crispy. The best water for mixing the batter in summer is ice water.

2. Japanese ramen: Ramen soup is usually simmered for hours or even days. Some ramen stores use or mix commercial ramen broth bought in buckets, a convenient and cost-effective practice, but dedicated ramen eaters can tell the difference.

Expanded Information

1. In making tempura, there is a saying in Japan that "three parts technique, seven parts selection". Because Japanese cuisine is mainly light in flavor, with a strong emphasis on highlighting the flavor of the ingredients themselves, the freshness of the ingredients is the primary criterion for selection. Selection of ingredients is based on the requirements of tempura production. Japan is also very particular about seasonal characteristics, with different seasons choosing different seasonal specialty ingredients.

2. The soup base of ramen is also very rich in nutrients, released from the ingredients used in it, including amino acids, nucleic acids, and minerals. But the downside is that most of them contain excessive salt.

3, Japanese sushi to nori or seaweed rolled rice with sashimi, cucumber, meat floss, burnt onion-based, with mustard, horseradish, soy sauce, vinegar. And on the coast of China there is a cylindrical rice ball made using glutinous rice, egg yolks, crunchy skin, peanuts, vegetables, and cooked shrimp called mochi rice sticks, wrapped in a layer of cooked dough, in a method somewhat similar to that of shaking sushi, but with different ingredients and shapes.
