Instructions
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. • Place potato, black sesame seeds, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper on a lined oven tray. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Thinly slice spring onion and white turnip. Thinly slice pear into wedges. • Roughly chop shredded cabbage mix. In a medium bowl, combine cabbage and the salt. • In a small bowl, combine Japanese dressing and garlic aioli. Set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-5 minutes. • While the bacon is cooking, combine the plain flour, milk, soy sauce, egg, garlic, ginger paste, spring onion and a pinch of pepper in a second medium bowl. • Squeeze out any excess moisture from the cabbage using a paper towel or clean cloth, then add to the batter. Stir to combine. • When the bacon is done, add it to the bowl of fritter mixture and mix well.
TIP: Leave the residual oil from the bacon in the pan – it will add to the flavour when cooking the fritters!
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. • When oil is hot, add heaped tablespoons of fritter mixture in batches and flatten with a spatula (3-4 per person). Cook until golden, 3-4 minutes each side (don't flip too early!). • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
TIP: Allow the fritters to set before flipping, adding extra oil between batches if needed.
• In a large bowl, combine a drizzle of rice wine vinegar and olive oil. • Add mixed salad leaves, pear and turnip. Toss to coat and season to taste.
• Divide bacon, ginger and cabbage fritters, sesame potatoes and pear salad between plates. • Drizzle Japanese aioli over the fritters to serve. Enjoy!
