Kim Dae-seok's Crispy Sweet Potato Tempura

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Slicing the sweet potato too thickly may cause the outer batter to burn before the inside is fully cooked, so aim for a thickness of 0.5–0.7 cm.
• Adding ice to the tempura batter lowers its temperature, causing moisture to instantly vaporize upon contact with hot oil, resulting in significantly crispier results.
• Using a ziplock bag to first coat the sweet potato with a thin layer of flour ensures the batter adheres well without flaking off.
