-
4.Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat.
-
5.Drop spoonfuls of the vegetable batter into the hot oil, frying them in batches until golden brown and crispy. Flip the fritters occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
6.Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
-
7.Serve the Bakwan Malang hot with a side of spicy dipping sauce.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Carrots — Make sure to shred the carrots finely to ensure even cooking and a better texture in the fritters.
- Bean sprouts — Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly and pat them dry before adding them to the batter to prevent excess moisture.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, add a small amount of finely chopped chili to the vegetable mixture.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can also bake the fritters in the oven instead of deep-frying them. Simply preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and bake the fritters for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
Serving advice
Serve the Bakwan Malang as a snack or appetizer, accompanied by the spicy dipping sauce. They are best enjoyed when hot and crispy.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Bakwan Malang on a platter, garnished with fresh herbs such as cilantro or mint leaves, to add a pop of color and freshness to the presentation.
