Brilio.net - Bakwan is one of the favorite fried foods that can be made with various ingredients, including vegetables such as carrots, cabbage, green beans, and bean sprouts. These vegetables can be combined to make the bakwan dough thicker. Wheat flour is used as a binder for vegetables and makes the bakwan crispy when fried.
However, using only flour can make the fritters quickly soft after cooling. Usually, people add baking powder to maintain the crispiness. Although effective, baking powder can make the taste of the fritters bitter because of its thick nature.
There is another better alternative to keep vegetable fritters crispy without baking powder. YouTube user Nuraaini Soewarto shares a trick to make fritters that are crispy even though they are thick, and the crispiness lasts long even after they have cooled down.
"Crispy fritters, the crispiness lasts all day. It's really easy to make, perfect for a snack," explained YouTuber Nuraaini Soewarto, quoted by BrilioFood on Tuesday (22/10).
To make it, first prepare a large enough bowl. Then add 300 grams of low protein flour. Also add 3 pieces of sliced cabbage, 3 stalks of sliced spring onions, 1 small grated carrot, and bean sprouts to taste. The amount of these vegetables will make the texture of the fritters thick.

After that, pour 400 ml of water gradually while stirring until well mixed. If so, add 1 tsp of flavoring, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of coriander powder, and a fine spice made from 5 cloves of garlic and 2 candlenuts.

The last ingredient, he added 1 tbsp of melted margarine. Well, this margarine is the key. The addition of margarine will make the texture of the fritters remain crispy for a long time and not oily. In addition, margarine also does not change the taste of the fritters. In fact, margarine will make the aroma of the fritters even more delicious.

After adding margarine, stir all the ingredients again until smooth. Once done, fry the fritter dough in hot oil. It is better to use a lot of oil so that the thick dough can be completely submerged when fried. That way, the texture will be even crispier and crunchier.
Continue frying until the fritters start to crisp and turn brown. Don't forget to flip them occasionally if one side is cooked. Once the fritters are golden brown, remove and drain. These vegetable fritters are ready to be eaten with cayenne pepper or your favorite chili sauce.
