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

My mother-in-law often used to make this. This is a tribute to her.
My father suggested adding chikuwa.
As my husband loves kakiage (mixed vegetable tempura), I make this pretty frequently.
Eat with soba noodles or pack in your bento.

Once you drop the batter into the oil, don't touch it.
Use chopsticks to flip them over, but try not to touch them any more than that.
Keep a close eye on them.
They'll be crisp right out of the pan when the oil is hot, but will soften with time. To cook them so that they are crisp even when cold, fry on low heat. Recipe by Kohagaeru.
