Is tempura healthier than other fried food?

 

[sjiveru]

This is still a wonderful story, but it is annoying to see yet another fantasy religion that seems like its clergy don't actually believe it and are just using it as a political tool

Maybe if we stop religions from doing it in real life we’ll see less of it in manga

Don't think there are any commonly used mushrooms that do- dunno if it even could since loosely available enzymes would act on its own body, destroying itself? Certainly does impart flavor though. Who knows with isekai mushrooms though =D

Beyond pineapple, papaya (papain enzyme), and actually a number of other fruits and even onions can release enzymes that do work on meat proteins. Depends on the effect desired, since overexposure and amount makes meat really mushy. Again, isekai mushrooms being able to transform a tough piece of meat (beef I'm guessing? maybe a piece of round?) into delicious steak is quite the magic feat. Only thing that may come close in the world is maybe qu/koji rice mold paste applications- plenty of experiments with doing that to tough cuts of meat, quick/faux "dry-aging", or even long dry curing/aging to mimic steakhouse, or even shorter term with burgers and game poultry for flavor boosting umami and component breakdown.

 

[Mitsu13]

No

Thought so. They always eat it at Nobu, so I'm curious.

Is tempura healthier than other fried food?

No, because the frying process requires it to be submerged in hot oil to cook, and oil that's repeatedly superheated, such as for frying, breaks down into carcinogens.

All I know is pineapple .

Pear juice works too. Certain kalbi and bulgogi recipes call for pear juice in the marinade.

Since when Akinator became god!?

 

[flameshadowwolf]

It was a nice chapter but uh does shinobu not know about mushroom allergies?

To be fair, mushrooms isn't one of the common food allergies; the nine foods that make up the majority of food allergies are eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat, and while other allergies do exist, they're pretty uncommon.

What else do you call a being who can read your mind and guess exactly who you're thinking of?
