What is shrimp tempura? Interestingly, tempura was actually influenced by Portuguese travelers in Japan back in the 16th century with the dish peixinhos da horta, a traditional Portuguese dish made during meatless “Ember days.” In short, they liked to deep fry vegetables to make them taste better–something I can heavily relate to! Since then, Japanese chefs have made adjustments, such as lightening the batter and adding different foods to batter, to make shrimp or vegetable tempura....

This dish can seem similar to bún bò Huế, but it uses different noodles, is less spicy and quite a bit heavier with the use of pork stock and thicker noodles. Bánh canh directly translates to “noodle soup” or “soup cake” and has origins in central Vietnam. The term comes from the flattened shape of the noodles before they are cut into strings. It’s best not to think too hard about its English translation....
