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.
