Let’s make delicious Gim-mari fritters using leftover Japchae! Perfect for kids’ snacks or late-night cravings, this air fryer recipe is simple and satisfying. Enjoy the crispy exterior and savory filling.
Ingredients
- 5 sheets of Gim (seaweed)
- Leftover Japchae (enough to fill)
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Tempura flour
- A little water
- 1 Tbsp Cooking oil (optional, for extra crispiness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re going to make delicious Gim-mari fritters using leftover Japchae from the fridge. This recipe uses the air fryer, making it easier and healthier than deep-frying.
Step 2
Place a generous amount of leftover Japchae onto a sheet of Gim. Be careful not to overfill, as too much filling can cause the Gim to burst.
Step 3
Lightly moisten the bottom edge of the Gim with a little water and roll it up tightly. This helps the Gim seal shut, preventing it from unraveling during cooking.
Step 4
Cut the rolled Gim-mari into bite-sized pieces, about 3-4 cm long. These are perfect for little hands to enjoy.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of tempura flour and 1 egg. Gradually add a little water, mixing until you achieve a batter that is not too thin and coats the Gim well. (Optional: For extra crispiness, stir in 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.)
Step 6
Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper and arrange the coated Gim-mari, ensuring they don’t touch each other. Place them in a preheated air fryer set to 185°C (365°F) and cook for about 13 minutes. Flipping them halfway through will ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Your delicious Gim-mari fritters are ready! The crispy exterior and savory, soft interior are perfect for kids’ snacks or a satisfying late-night treat. Serve with ketchup or soy sauce for an extra burst of flavor!
