How To Make sweet potato pancakes

  • 1
    Dipping Sauce: This sauce is best when made ahead and allowed to chill. It will last covered in the refrigerator for 3 days. Combine the eight ingredients in a bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
  • 2
    Pancakes: In a large bowl, add the grated sweet potato, carrot, and salt. Mix well and let sit for 1 minute.
  • 3
    Place the vegetables onto a large piece of cheesecloth, wrap and squeeze tightly, until completely drained.
  • 4
    Next place the drained vegetables into a bowl and add the sambal oelek, green onion, black pepper, rice flour and cornstarch, mixing well.
  • 5
    Lightly stir your egg then add it to the mixture until well mixed.
  • 6
    Divide the vegetable mixture into into 4 balls and form into patties. Next, add the oil to a frying pan. When ready, fry the patties 3 minutes per side, until crispy and brown.
  • 7
    When ready, serve the crispy pancakes with lettuce, herbs, and sauce.
