, but my move is to pick up a box from a Japanese supermarket or sushi joint and throw together this dish in minutes.
Tempura sauce usually comes with tempura, in a small container, and it works well as the base for this dish’s dressing. If your tempura doesn’t come with sauce, use soy sauce instead. If you want to make this even spicier, use wasabi- or chile-flavored Japanese rice crackers. One trip to a Japanese market will get you all the ingredients you need to throw together this dish in minutes.6 to 8 pieces vegetable tempura1 habanero or other hot fruity-flavored chile, seeded and minced12 small butter or red lettuce leaves1. If the tempura is fresh, set the pieces in a single layer on a wire rack to keep them crisp. If the tempura has been refrigerated, reheat in a toaster oven or an oven set to 400 degrees until crisp, 7 to 10 minutes.
