Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Turnips
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel and grate the turnips using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated turnips in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove as much excess liquid as possible. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the bowl with the grated turnips.
Add the flour, egg, soy sauce, ground black pepper, and salt to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until a sticky batter forms.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Using your hands or a spoon, form the turnip mixture into small patties (about 2-3 inches in diameter) and place them into the hot skillet. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crisp. Flip the patties and cook an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet as needed for additional batches.
Serve the fried turnip patties warm as a side dish or with your favorite dipping sauce.
