The Cookbook/Tempura

{{recipe}} | [[Cookbook:Cuisine of Japan|Japanese Cuisine]]

'''Tempura''' is basically the fried food of [[Cookbook:Cuisine of Japan|Japan]]. Various [[Cookbook:Meat|meats]] and [[Cookbook:Vegetable|vegetables]] are dipped in [[Cookbook:Batter|batter]] and then [[Cookbook:Deep-fat Frying|deep fried]] until lightly golden.

==Ingredients==
* 1 egg
* 1 cup ice cold water
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* Enough oil to fry food

==Procedure==
# Heat cooking oil (peanut oil is best) in a deep pan to 340 - 350° F (~171 - 176°C)
# Beat the egg in a bowl and add ice cold water (warmer water will produce a sticky batter and more oily tempura).
# Add flour and mix lightly. Do not overmix batter.
# Dip vegetables or fish briefly in the batter and fry until brown.
# Remove from the oil and drain.
# Serve hot.

To make the [[Cookbook:Shrimp|shrimp]] straight, score the [[Cookbook:Shrimp|shrimp]] a few times crosswise on the underside, to prevent them from curling up during [[Cookbook:Deep-fat Frying|deep frying]]. Alternatively, [[Cookbook:Skewering|skewer]] them before cooking. Remove the skewers before serving.

Serve over white [[Cookbook:Rice|rice]] garnished with black [[Cookbook:Sesame Seed|sesame seeds]], in a bowl of [[Cookbook:Udon Noodle Soup|udon noodle soup]], or in a bowl of [[Cookbook:Soba Noodle Soup|soba noodle soup]]. Serving in [[Cookbook:Soup|soup]] makes the breading get mushy of course.

<div align="center">''[[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|Disambiguation note]]: see [[Fanboys (mnemonic)]] for a description of "FANBOYS" as a grammar mnemonic.''</div>

'''Fanboy''' or '''Fanboi''' is a term used to describe someone who is utterly devoted to a single subject or [[hobby]], often to the point where it is considered an [[obsession]]. The term originated in [[comic book]] circles, to describe someone who was socially insecure and used comics as a shield from interaction, hence the disparaging connotations. Fanboys are often experts on minor details regarding their hobbies, and they take these details extremely seriously. The term itself is often used in a derogatory manner by less serious fans of the same material. Nevertheless, self-labeling usages of the term have been noted; in the songs of the fannish [[parody]] [[musician]] [[Luke Ski]], many characters proudly consider themselves ''fanboys''. The term is usually applied to people in their teens or 20s. Within this group, common objects of deference for fanboys are [[TV show]]s, [[film|movie]]s, [[anime]], [[car]]s, [[video game console]]s, [[video games]], [[operating system]]s, [[MMORPG]]s, and [[software]] companies. The female equivalent is sometimes called a [[fangirl]]. Fangirls tend to be more devoted to emotional and romantic aspects of their [[fandom]], especially [[shipping (fandom)|shipping]].

[[Stereotype|Stereotypically]], fanboys are attributed with a [[sycophant]]ic devotion to the creators and principles behind a work they are currently enthralled by, but will quickly move their attention elsewhere once something better or just newer comes along. A good example of this is [[Harry Knowles]] and his associates at [[Ain't It Cool News]], whose particular focus is on [[film|movies]] in the [[action movie|action]], [[fantasy]], adventure and [[superhero]] genres. Fanboys are noted for a very emotional attachment to their chosen subject, often taking negative remarks about it as a personal attack. They will readily engage in debates, but will fall back on emotional responses. (For example, a "fanboy" may go out of their way to point out negative and often untrue statements about their obsession's rivals.)

The stereotypical image of the fanboy is as an unkempt, often overweight, and generally unattractive figure of a young man who appears as a loud mouthed pseudo-intellectual. A popular depiction of this stereotype is the [[Comic Book Guy]] on [[The Simpsons]]. In the mid [[1990s]], the emergence of [[slacker]] culture changed this image somewhat. Movies such as [[Kevin Smith]]'s Jersey Trilogy ([[Clerks (movie)|Clerks]], [[Mallrats]], and [[Chasing Amy]]), altered the image of the fanboy. As electronic entertainment gained popularity, the term became increasingly applied to video gamers and television addicts. As a result, a subculture emerged which readily labeled itself as fanboys. Within this group, more effort is taken to fit in with a perceived standard, resulting in a more outgoing attitude, even among those with insecurities. This outgoing stance is often felt to be abrasive by those not involved in the culture as deeply.
