I remembered how delicious the carrot leaf fritters I had a long time ago were. Plus, living on a farm, we get tons of carrot tops.

Wash the carrot leaves carefully, and then dry them off. I used easy-to-use tempura flour. For 8 fritters. Recipe by Kourin

Ingredients

8 servings
  1. 65 gramsof the leaves Carrot leaves
  2. 25Shrimp
  3. 3 tbspKatakuriko
  4. For the batter:
  5. 6 tbspCommercial tempura flour
  6. 3 tbspKatakuriko
  7. 1 tbspGrapeseed or vegetable oil
  8. 100 mlWater

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rip the leaves off the carrot tops, removing the thick stems.

  2. 2

    Peel and de-vein the shrimp, and cut into 1.5 cm pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Put the leaves and shrimp in a bowl, and sprinkle evenly with katakuriko.

  4. 4

    Mix the batter together and leave for 2 to 3 minutes. It should feel silky enough that it can fall off a spoon in a smooth stream.

  5. 5

    Add the batter to the mixture from Step 3, and mix evenly.

  6. 6

    Fill a large pan about 1/3 full with oil. Add spoonfuls of the combined ingredients to the oil, so that 1/3 of each fritter sticks out from the surface of the oil.

  7. 7

    When the fritters are a bit fried, turn them over and poke a bit with cooking chopsticks. Turn again and poke several times again, to make them very crispy.

  8. 8

    Here's a similar platter of fritters using komatsuna and shrimp. This version doesn't use commercial tempura flour.
