3 c of flour (cake)

1 tsp of monosodium glutamate
3 c of water

Combine all the first three ingredients together. Cool this mixture. Prepare the sauce by combining the soya sauce, water, mirin and monosodium glutamate in a pan and let boil. Pour the sauce into small saucers w/ a little bit of the radish.
Prepare the shrimp by removing shell then deveining. Try to flatten each piece by using the flat part of a knife. Arrange these in a platter with the mushrooms, celery, eggplant, sweet potatoes, carrots and the beans.
Next, dip the pieces of shrimp in batter then fry in 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Once each piece rises to the surface of the oil, add a little more of the prepared batter. After each piece of shrimp is cooked, do the same with the vegetables. Drain all these.
Make sure to keep the batter a little cool. Serve the dish with assorted variety on every plate. It would be good to dip the vegetables into the sauce with radish for seasoning.
