Steps

  • Grease a plate with oil and set it inside a steaming basket over simmering water.
  • Steam the pumpkin slices for 15 minutes or until tender, then cool slightly.
  • Mash the pumpkin in a bowl and mix with 30g flour and grated ginger.
  • Mould the mixture into 15 to 20 small patties using your hands.
  • Dredge each patty in extra flour until thoroughly coated.
  • Whisk 200ml lager with 100g flour into a paste and stir in ice cubes.
  • Heat deep-frying oil in a heavy pan to 180°C.
  • Dip the pumpkin patties into the cold batter once the ice has half melted.
  • Fry patties in batches for 2 to 3 minutes until crisp and drain on kitchen paper.
  • Mix chopped spring onions, chilli, and soy sauce to create a dipping sauce.
  • Serve warm fritters with the soy dip and sweet chilli sauce.
