SMASHING...
Using a rolling pin or bottle, smash the Cucumber, slice into bite-sized pieces, and salt lightly. In a bowl, combine the dressing with 1 tbsp of a sweetener of choice. Mix until fully combined. Add the cucumber pieces and toss until fully coated. Set aside to marinate until serving. Slice the pak choi in half lengthways and set aside.
TOASTY SESAME
Place the sesame seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion.
PREP STEP
In a bowl, add the sliced Cabbage, the spring onion whites, the grated carrot, the flour, the rub, 1 egg, 80ml of water and seasoning. Mix until fully combined and the flour has been fully absorbed. Add a splash of water if it’s too thick.
GET FRYING!
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. Once hot, scoop 2 tbsp of the fritter mixture into the hot oil. Flatten slightly and repeat with the remaining mixture, leaving a 1cm gap between each fritter. You may need to do this step in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until crispy and cooked through. Remove from the pan and drain on some paper towel.
FINAL TOUCHES
Wipe down the pan if necessary and return it to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pak choi halves for 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted. In the final minute, add the edamame. Remove from the heat and season. In a small bowl, mix the mayo, the Gochujang (to taste), and some seasoning.
PLATE IT UP!
Plate up a mound of the smashed Cucumber salad. Side with the crispy fritters and the sautéed pak choi & edamame. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and the spring onion greens and serve with the spicy mayo for dunking. A feast!
