This dish is consist of yam, shrimps, tumeric, and flour.
Dip the shrimp into the batter and deep fry until golden brown.
I just love the color of the finished product. Don't they look wonderful?
Fresh herbs.
You can dip them in lemony garlic fish sauce . Wow, I am drooling just by looking at them.
A closer look.
Ingredients:
2 cups Tempura Mix ( I bought at the Korean grocery)
1 1/2 cup water
1/3 cup rice flour
1/4 tsp tumeric powder
2.5 lbs yam or taro (you can use half yam and half taro)
1.5 lbs shrimps (devein)Method:
Sweet Potatoes/Yam/Taro:
-Cut the sweet potatoes /yam/taro into long thin sticks.
-Put the shredded yam/taro into a bowl filled with cold water.
-Add 2 TBSP of salt. And let it sit for 30 minutes.
-After half hour, put all the shredded yam/taro into the salad spinner.
Note: The sweet potatoes have to be dry so they will be crispy when we fry them.
Shrimps:
-Raw shrimps peeled and deveined (I like mine peeled. Others leave the shell on.)
-Add a little salt to the raw shrimps, and put aside.
Tempura mix:
-Add tempura mix with rice flour, turmeric powder and water.
Frying:
-Heat oil in a large frying pan and when it is hot, put in 4 egg poaching rings. If you don’t have the ring, then use two spoons to scoop in the batter into the pan.
-Put several shredded yam into the tempura batter. Fill them about half full with sweet potato, pushing it down. Dip the raw shrimp into the batter and place a shrimp on top of the cake.
-After 1 ½ minutes, carefully remove the poaching rings, but don’t touch the sweet potato cakes at all. When they are cooked in 5 minutes, the bottoms will be golden brown ad crispy.
-Flip them over for another 2 minutes.
-Drain them on the paper towel.
-Serve with fresh herbs and dip with garlic lemony fish sauce.
Enjoy :-)
