Instructions

1. 1Peel the 2 large sweet potatoes and cut them into thin sticks, about 0.635 cm thick.
2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 0.5 cup rice flour, 0.25 cup tapioca starch, 1 tablespoon sugar, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon baking powder until well combined.
3. 3Gradually add the 0.5 cup water to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously with the whisk until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
4. 4Pour the 2 cups of vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C.
5. 5Dip each sweet potato stick into the batter, making sure it is fully coated, and let any excess batter drip off.
6. 6Carefully place the battered sweet potato sticks into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid crowding the pot. Fry for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the sticks are golden brown and appear crispy.
7. 7Use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to remove the fried sweet potato sticks from the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
8. 8Serve the Khoai Lang Chiên Giòn warm.
