Satsuma-age (satsuma age)

Instructions

1. Finely grate the carrot and slice the onion very thin.
2. In a bowl, flake the surimi, then add the carrot, onion, ginger and beaten egg.
3. Mix in the flour, starch, soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper until you get a smooth, fairly firm dough.
4. Heat the oil in a saucepan to about 170 °C; a piece of dough should sizzle gently.
5. Shape small oval balls with a spoon or with wet hands.
6. Fry in small batches for 3 to 4 minutes, turning them, until they are nicely golden.
7. Drain on paper towels and serve right away with the sweet soy sauce.
