"Vegetable tempura" refers to a Japanese dish where vegetables (such as sweet potatoes, zucchini, carrots, or bell peppers) are dipped in a light batter and deep-fried until crispy. It's commonly served as a side dish or appetizer in Japanese cuisine.

If you're describing it in the context of a menu or recipe, you might also see variations like:

• Tempura vegetables (same meaning)
• Vegetable fritters (more general, can refer to any deep-fried vegetable)
• Mixed vegetable tempura (if several types of vegetables are used)

It's a popular dish for its light, crispy texture and delicate flavor, often served with a dipping sauce called "tentsuyu" (a mixture of soy sauce, dashi, and mirin).

Air Fryer Cooking Instructions for Frozen Fried Food:

Ingredients:

• Frozen fried food (e.g., frozen fries, chicken nuggets, spring rolls, fish fillets, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer:

   • Preheat your air fryer to the temperature specified on the package of the frozen food (usually around 180°C / 350°F).
   • If no temperature is specified, you can set the air fryer to 180°C / 350°F as a general guideline.

2. Prepare the Air Fryer Basket:

   • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray (optional) to prevent sticking. This step is especially helpful for items like chicken nuggets or fish fillets that might have a breaded coating.
   • Alternatively, you can line the basket with parchment paper or a silicone mat if your air fryer supports it.

3. Arrange the Frozen Food:

   • Place the frozen fried food in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be careful not to overcrowd the basket, as this can result in uneven cooking. If you have a lot of food, it’s better to cook it in batches.

4. Cooking:

   • Cook the frozen food according to the package instructions or for about 10-20 minutes, depending on the type of food. For example:
     • Frozen French fries: 15-20 minutes at 180°C (350°F), shaking halfway through.
     • Chicken nuggets: 10-12 minutes at 180°C (350°F), flipping halfway through.
     • Spring rolls: 12-15 minutes at 180°C (350°F), turning halfway through.
     • Fish fillets: 10-15 minutes at 180°C (350°F), flipping halfway through.
