This is the crispiest Korean frying mix recipe ever. The homemade frying mix is very versatile and can be used in many different types of fried foods.
I used this homemade frying mix to make vegetable twigim (Korean deep fried vegetables) and gimmari (crispy seaweed noodle rolls). Both are very popular Korean street foods and are most commonly eaten with tteokbokki (Korean spicy rice cakes). Click here for the best vegan tteokbokki recipe.
Please watch my YouTube video below where I share all my tips and tricks to making the crispiest twigim and gimmari.
