Ingredients needed 2 servings
Recipe
Cooking tips
- Fresh yam has a strong astringent and bitter taste, but when heated and deep-fried, the astringency disappears completely, leaving behind a savory sweetness and chewy texture.
- Soaking the gizzard shad in light saltwater before frying helps remove moisture and fishy odor through osmosis, resulting in cleaner flavor.
- If the frying oil temperature drops, the ingredients will absorb too much oil and become soggy, so maintaining consistent heat and frying quickly is key.
Recommended for
- Those seeking a new dimension of intense crunch and richness compared to grilled or raw gizzard shad.
- Those who want to enjoy a healthy, chewy, and sweet yam fritter without the astringent taste as a special beer snack.
