Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shiso Ranch

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chopped shiso leaves, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ukoy Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine grated sweet potato, beach mushrooms, Old Bay seasoning, flour, eggs, and salt. Stir until well combined.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Fry the Ukoy

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the ukoy mixture into the oil and flatten slightly. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  2. 4

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried ukoy from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with shiso ranch on the side.
