Ingredients
4
medium-sized taro/eddoes, peeled and diced
2
tablespoons
tamari
(or soy sauce if not gluten-free)
1
tablespoon
mirin
(or sub 1 teaspoon any other sweetener)
Salt + pepper, to taste
Few tablespoons
cornflour (cornstarch)
2
tablespoons
oil
(vegetable or rapeseed oil)
Instructions
Boil or steam the taro for 10-15 minutes until soft enough to easily pierce with a fork
Drain away the cooking water and add soy sauce, mirin and salt + pepper
Mash with a fork until smooth
Sprinkle the cornflour onto a plate
Take 2 tablespoons of the mash, form into a small patty and evenly coat with the cornflour
Repeat for the rest of the mixture
Heat up the oil in a frying pan and add the cornflour-coated patties once hot
Fry on a medium heat for around 10 minutes, turning over halfway through, until both sides are crispy and golden brown
Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper and enjoy immediately
These are delicious on their own but taste even better dipped in a mixture of soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce
