Korean cuisine: Crispy Vegetable Fritters (Yachae-twigim) Recipe

Crispy Korean Vegetable Fritters (Yachae-twigim) Recipe

These Korean vegetable fritters are a delightful mix of crispy textures and sweet vegetables.

Ingredients:

  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1 potato
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1/4 carrot
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup ice water
  • A pinch of salt
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Vegetables:
    • Wash and peel the sweet potato, potato, onion, and carrot.
    • Cut all the vegetables into thin matchsticks (julienne).
  2. Make the Batter:
    • In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
    • Gradually add the ice water, mixing lightly with chopsticks or a fork. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  3. Coat the Vegetables:
    • Place the julienned vegetables in the batter and mix gently to coat them evenly.
  4. Fry the Fritters:
    • Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 340-350°F (170-180°C).
    • Carefully drop small clusters of the vegetable mixture into the hot oil.
    • Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve the vegetable fritters hot with a dipping sauce (soy sauce mixed with a little water or rice vinegar).

Tips:

  • Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for crispy fritters.
  • Do not overcrowd the fryer; fry in small batches.
  • For a lighter batter, use very cold water and mix minimally.
  • A simple dipping sauce can be made by mixing soy sauce, a small amount of water, and if available rice vinegar.
  • Any vegetable that can be julienned can be used in this recipe.
