Kim Dae-seok's Crispy Sweet Potato Tempura

Crispy golden sweet potato fritters fried with cold batter and gardenia powder

Ingredients needed 3 servings

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.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make street-food-style golden, crunchy fritters at home.
  • Parents looking for clean, homemade snacks without clumpy flour for their children.
  • Anyone wanting to fry sweet potatoes so they're moist and sweet all the way through, not dry or soggy.
