Japanese Noodle Fritters
With gentle Japanese flavours and crisp noodles, you just can't go wrong with these flavoursome fritters!
Ingredients
2 x 72g packets chicken-flavoured 2-Minute noodles
6 eggs
½ cup self-raising flour
2 cups shredded savoy cabbage
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 small carrot (70g), peeled, coarsely grated
1 tablespoon fresh ginger paste
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Tonkatsu sauce and Kewpie mayonnaise, to serve
Extra thinly sliced spring onions, to garnish
Method
-
Cook noodles with flavour sachets according to packet directions. Drain. Cool slightly. Cut into shorter lengths with kitchen scissors.
-
Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in flour until smooth. Stir in noodles, cabbage, onions, carrot and ginger. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add about ¼ cup of noodle mixture to pan, spreading slightly to form a fritter. Repeat to make another three fritters.
-
Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper.
-
Arrange fritters in a single layer on an oven tray. Lightly cover with foil. Place in a very slow oven (120C) to keep warm. Repeat with remaining mixture to make 12 fritters.
-
Serve fritters topped with a dollop of tonkatsu sauce and mayonnaise. Garnish with extra spring onions.
TIP! You will need about ¼ of a savoy cabbage for this recipe. They have a mild taste with wrinkly leaves. Tonkatsu is a Japanese barbecue-style sauce available at supermarkets.
