Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

Peel the lotus root, slice it 0.5 cm thick, and briefly blanch it in boiling water with salt and vinegar.
Peel the sweet potato, boil it, and mash it.
Finely chop the nuts, mix them into the boiled sweet potato, and shape into small round patties like dongnggeurangttaeng.
Mix the tempura mix, egg, and salt to make a batter. (Use the prickly pear powder to make batter in two colors.)
Put the mashed sweet potato between slices of lotus root.
Assemble the lotus root sandwiches and fry in 170°C oil.

💡 TipThe sweet potato and nuts inside the sandwich give a sweet and nutty flavor.
