La frittura, la tempura ed il tempo | eatparade
It seems that everything that relates to the frying has to do with time. As in the case of tempura. The the refined Japanese frying technique derives from the Latin term “tempora“, literally “times”. Emblem of a gastronomic delight that fleeting moment of light and that is the very essence of frying, the tempura has become gastronomic symbol of the late modernity, of his day short and its immediate consumption.
The real ingredient of the fry is time. Nothing like the gradual boiling, or progression, albeit abrupt and violent roast.
Even frying, albeit demonized by many, it can be made by minimizing the harmful substances and calories. This cooking system, as should always be considered as not being consumed too frequently, can even maintain a high nutritional value of certain foods, just as vegetables in batter. The result is always a particularly appetizing dish, which must be consumed sparingly so as not to impair the function of our body.
