Origin
Japanese-Hawaiian

Description
Tempura arrived with Japanese immigrants and adapted to Hawaiian ingredients: shrimp tempura (standard), sweet potato tempura (using Hawaiian ʻuala or kumara), green bean tempura, and fish tempura using local reef species. Hawaiian-style tempura is often served as part of a teishoku (set meal) at Japanese-Hawaiian restaurants or as a plate lunch option. The batter is lighter than most mainland American tempura — ice-cold, barely mixed, with visible flour lumps (correct technique, not laziness).
