Crispy and savory fritters made by slicing thick okra, coating with tempura flour and minced garlic, then frying until golden and crunchy.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Cooking tips

  • If okra is sliced too thin, it loses its crisp texture during frying; if too thick, the batter clumps between the slices and doesn’t crisp properly. Maintaining a consistent 5mm thickness is key.
  • Adding a small amount of minced garlic to the batter enhances the overall flavor—when fried, the garlic releases a rich, savory aroma that elevates the entire dish.
  • Pressing down firmly with a spatula during frying helps expel moisture from inside the okra, thins the batter, and ensures every edge becomes perfectly crisp and crunchy.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a simple, no-fuss appetizer to enjoy with soju on rainy or cloudy days.
  • People wanting to clear out leftover chili peppers stored in the fridge all at once.
  • Fans of crispy, crunchy textures who prefer their fritters to be uniformly crisp and satisfying to bite into, rather than soggy.
