Here's a recipe for Japanese Tendon using ingredients you can find at Walmart:

Ingredients:

• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 pound (450 g) shrimp, peeled and deveined (or substitute with chicken or tofu)
• Tempura batter mix (available in the Asian section at Walmart)
• Water
• 3 cups (750 ml) cooked Japanese rice
• 1 cup (240 ml) tempura frying mix (optional, for extra crispy tempura)
• Assortment of tempura vegetables (available frozen in the Asian section at Walmart, or you can choose your favorites):
  • Asparagus, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced
  • Onion, sliced
  • Bell pepper, sliced
  • Green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
• Tendon sauce (available in the Asian section at Walmart, or you can substitute with a mixture of 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, and 1 tablespoon sugar)
• Fried shallots or sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the tempura batter according to package instructions. The consistency should be thin enough to coat the ingredients but thick enough to cling to them.
3. If using the tempura frying mix, toss your vegetables in it for extra crispiness.
4. Dredge the shrimp (or chicken/tofu) and vegetables in the tempura batter, coating them completely.
5. Carefully fry the shrimp and vegetables in batches for 2-3 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
6. While the tempura is frying, cook the Japanese rice according to package instructions.
7. Divide the cooked rice among bowls.
8. Top each bowl with the fried shrimp and vegetables.
9. Drizzle with tendon sauce (or substitute).
10. Garnish with fried shallots or sesame seeds (optional).

Tips:

• If you don't have tempura batter mix, you can make your own with all-purpose flour, cornstarch, eggs, and water. There are many recipes available online.
• You can adjust the vegetables to your liking. Other popular tempura vegetables include broccoli, carrots, and squash.
• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the tempura, otherwise it will be greasy.
• Don't overcrowd the pot when frying, as this will lower the oil temperature and make the tempura soggy.
