Done Japanese kakiage tempura style. Within the cornflour coated fritters, I detect carrot, white onion, purple cabbage, burdock root, and mitsuba / parsley.

These have a beautiful vegetal savoury salty sweet flavour, but the dish is paired with a thick sweet spicy chili dipping sauce instead of the usual tempura gravy.
