Imo 芋 Patty/Filling
Imo patty for Ninja Burger
Ingredients
- 1 Satsuma Imo/Sweet potato, cubed Yam should work too. Each portion approximately 80~100g.
- 10 seeds Dried Lotus Seeds
- few cm Ginseng to taste (optionally cut into small bits)
- 1/8 tsp Cinnamon start with 1/8 tsp, then adjust to taste
- Sugar to taste
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Remove lotus seed stems. If lotus seeds are hard to open, you will have to soften the lotus seeds in water first.
- Boil sweet potatoes, lotus seeds and ginseng in salted water until lotus seeds soften and are easily mashable. (should take anywhere 20~30 minutes)
- Drain the water and roughly mix or mash everything together to desired texture. I left mine chunky for a bit more of a bite.
- Add in seasonings to taste. (I omitted sugar altogether, but this depends on tolerance for Ginseng’s bitterness.)
- When the mixture is cool enough to handle, wet your hands and roughly form into patties.
- It is recommended to deep fry these in a batter, but I didn’t want to use additional ingredients outside of the pill ingredients (plus I was lazy). So just pan-fry them until golden brown on both sides.
