For the Twigim: Pour 3–4 inches (7.5–10 cm) of neutral oil into a large deep pot or deep fryer and heat to 355°F (180°C). Rinse all the vegetables under cold running water and set in a sieve to dry. In individual plastic bags, add the well-dried vegetables and 1 tablespoon of potato starch to each bag and shake vigorously until the vegetables are evenly coated with potato starch. In a bowl, combine the frying mix and 1 cup (8 fl oz/240 ml) cold water and mix well until uniform. Line a tray with paper towels. Working in batches of one vegetable at a time, use chopsticks to dip each of the starch-coated vegetables into the batter and drop into the heated oil. Cook for about 2 minutes and transfer to the paper towels to drain. Serve hot with the cho-ganjang. $2.99 Save Trees. Print Less.
