Myrmecia Algae and Vegetable Tempura is a dish that was inspired by the flavors of the Australian Outback. The ants used in this dish are a type of green ant that is native to Australia. These ants are known for their pungent flavor, which is due to the formic acid that they secrete. The vegetables used in this dish are also native to Australia. The broccoli, cauliflower, bell pepper, and asparagus are all grown in the Outback, and they add a sweetness and crunch to the dish. The tempura batter is made with potato starch, water, and salt. The potato starch helps to create a light and crispy batter that seals in the flavors of the ants and vegetables.
