Taro Fritters
Perfectly crispy fritters made with taro roots, carrots, garlic, and green onions. Served with a sweet chili sauce!
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cup (80 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 cup (354 ml) water
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) soy sauce
- 1 tsp (4 g) sugar
- 1 medium (310 g) taro (about 11 ounces), shredded
- 1 medium (100 g) carrot shredded
- For serving: sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, prepare the batter: whisk together the flour, water, minced garlic, green onions, soy sauce, and sugar until smooth.
- Add the shredded taro and carrots and stir to coat with the batter.
- Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour about 1/3 cup of the fritter batter into the skillet and spread it into a 1/2-inch thick pancake. I usually cook 2-3 fritters at a time.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side or until golden brown. Carefully flip the fritters and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side. Once golden brown and crispy on both sides, transfer the fritters to a serving plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce! I personally love these served with sweet chili sauce, but you can use ketchup, mayo, or a tahini yogurt sauce!
