Ingredients
- 100 g All-purpose flour
- 20 g Cornstarch
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 200 g Green cabbage, finely shredded
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 100 g Bean sprouts
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, ground
- 150 ml Vegetable stock
- 500 ml Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Mix well.
Step 2
Add the grated carrot, shredded cabbage, sliced green onions, bean sprouts, and minced garlic to the flour mixture.
Step 3
Season with turmeric powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 4
Gradually pour in the vegetable stock while stirring to form a thick batter. The batter should be able to hold the vegetables together but not too runny.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Scoop 2 tablespoons of the batter for each fritter and carefully place it into the hot oil. You can fry several at a time, but ensure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry each side for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the fritters are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.
Step 10
Serve the vegan bakwan hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
