Ingredients
Dry Mixture
Wet Mixture
Instructions
To begin, slice the vegetables and mix them in a bowl.
Next, sprinkle dry mixture over the bowl containing the vegetables. Do this evenly, avoiding excessive thickness. Add salt to taste.
Combine the ingredients for the wet mixture. Ensure that the batter is neither too thick nor too thin.
Take a large spoonful of the vegetable mixture, or as desired, and place it in a small plate. Pour a few spoonfuls of the wet mixture over the vegetables until they are evenly coated. Ensure it's not too thick, but also not too thin. Stir until all parts are well coated with the wet mixture.
Shape the kakiage according to your preference on the small plate.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Ensure there is enough oil for the kakiage to be fully submerged during frying
Fry the kakiage in hot oil over medium heat. Remember to flip it to ensure even cooking. The frying time can be adjusted according to taste preferences, some prefer a slightly pale kakiage, while others prefer it crispy and brown. Adjust according to individual preferences.

Note
- Slice Vegetables with Uniform Thickness: Ensure that you slice the vegetables with a consistent thickness. This will ensure that the kakiage cooks evenly when fried.
- Pay Attention to Batter Consistency: When preparing the wet flour batter, make sure its consistency is neither too thick nor too thin. The right batter will create a crispy layer on the kakiage.
- Avoid Overcrowding the Pan: When frying kakiage, make sure not to fry too many at once. Overcrowding the pan can cause the oil temperature to drop significantly, resulting in kakiage that is not crispy and absorbs too much oil.
