My Mother-in-Law's Recipe for Vegetable Kakiage Fritters

• 1 large Onion
• 1/2 Carrot
• 2 Chikuwa
• 5 tbsp Plain white flour
• 2 tbsp Katakuriko
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 100 ml Water

1. Thinly slice the onion, julienne the carrot, slice the chikuwa into 5 mm rounds.
2. Combine the cut ingredients in a bowl, and dredge in 2 tablespoons of flour (not listed).
3. Make the batter.
4. Combine the ingredients in a separate bowl, and whisk with chopsticks or a whisk.
5. Add 100 ml of water and mix.
6. Heat the oil.
7. Combine Step 1 into Step 2, and mix briskly (if the batter is loose, add more flour).
8. Scoop up the batter mixture with a ladle or a large spoon and gently slide into the surface of the heated oil (about 180C / 356F).
9. Once the batter mixture hardens, flip over and fry until crisp.
