1. Finely slice the onion and chilli. If the bonito is hard, soak it for 10 minutes in warm water, then flake it.

3. Stir the flaked bonito, onion and chilli into the batter, then season with pepper.
4. Heat the oil in a saucepan to about 170 °C. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil.
5. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning, until the fritters are well browned.
6. Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot.
