Instructions

1.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded Jersey cabbage, chopped apple, and chopped kimchi. Squeeze out excess liquid from kimchi after chopping.
2.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, egg, cold water, soy sauce, and sesame oil until a smooth batter forms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3.
Add the batter to the cabbage, apple, and kimchi mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated.
4.
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
5.
Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the fritter mixture into the pan, being careful not to overcrowd it.
6.
Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7.
Remove the fritters from the pan using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8.
While the fritters are frying, prepare the sesame mayonnaise by combining the mayonnaise and sesame oil in a small bowl. Mix well.
9.
Serve the Jersey Cabbage & Apple Kimchi Fritters hot with the sesame mayonnaise for dipping. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.

Chef's Tips

For extra crispy fritters, make sure the oil is hot before adding the batter. You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles immediately, it's ready.

Don't overcrowd the pan when frying, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fritters. Fry in batches if necessary.

Squeezing the kimchi to remove excess liquid will help prevent the fritters from being too soggy.

Feel free to adjust the amount of kimchi to your spice preference.

If you don't have Jersey cabbage, you can substitute with regular green cabbage.

Adjust the water amount in the batter to achieve desired thickness. The batter should be thick enough to coat the vegetables but not too thick.
