There's an Asian-fusion restaurant near my home that serves the most delicious tempura - I know I'm going to eat more than is good for me. My favorite way to eat it is to order a tempura appetizer to take home.
Trouble is, the restaurant is VERY generous with the dipping sauce (I think it's tentsuyu) that they send home with the tempura. Especially if you do what I do and experiment at home with different dipping sauces. I'm sure the leftover tentsuyu (if that's what it is) is good for something else, but what? Any ideas?
Could you use it as a salad dressing?
Could it be used for dumplings, noodles, or deep-fried or sauteed tofu? Or drizzled over a stir-fry, rice, salads, soups or steamed vegetables. You could add chillies, spring onions, sesame seds and oil, etc before using.
Use it to make udon, soba, noodle soup or for dipping sauce for chilled somen and soba noodle. Tentsuyu is lighter than mentsuyu which is used for noodle soups and dipping sauce so you will need to add more soy sauce, dashi, mirin etc to your taste.
