Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass Noodles

    Soak the sweet potato glass noodles in warm water for about 30 minutes until they are soft. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Season the Noodles

    In a bowl, mix the softened noodles with salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Wrap the Noodles

    Take a sheet of seaweed, place a portion of the seasoned noodles on the bottom half, and roll it tightly, sealing the edges with a little water.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tempura Batter

    In a bowl, combine the tempura batter mix with water until smooth. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the wrapped noodles.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil to about 180°C (350°F).

  6. 6

    Fry the Gimmari

    Dip each wrapped noodle roll into the tempura batter, then carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Cut the fried Gimmari into bite-sized pieces and serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.
