Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Yam
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1.25 cup Sparkling water
- 3 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the yams and slice them into thin pieces about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
In a large bowl, mix the rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
Gradually add the sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still liquidy.
In a deep frying pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C). It's important the oil is hot enough for the yams to become crispy without absorbing too much oil.
Dip each yam slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip back into the bowl.
Carefully place the batter-coated yam slices into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan which can lower the oil temperature.
Fry each batch for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the yams are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried yam slices to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them plain.
