Step 1

Defrost the sliced renkon on a paper towel to let the paper towel absorb the water.

Wipe the excess water off with more paper towels.

Step 3

Heat enough oil to deep fry the sliced renkon to 180 degree.

Add the sliced renkon and deep fry for about 5 minuets or until lightly brown. You will see a lot of bubbles forming around the renkon. When it stops forming any bubbles around the renkon and the colour of renkon is brown, it is ready to scoop out of the oil.

Step 5

Drain the excess oil by scooping out the renkon on to a paper towel.

Heat the small sauce pan on high heat and bring the sauce mixture to boil.

Step 9

Turn the heat down to medium and simmer.

Step 10

Turn the heat off when the sauce is reduced and thickened.

Step 11

Pour it in a small sauce dispenser and drizzle over the renkon chips.
