Instructions
  1. Cook the sweet potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 180 fan/gas 6. Peel and dice sweet potatoes, then place on an oven tray and bake for 25-30mins unsold tender. Leave to cool, then place in a bowl and mash until smooth with a fork.

  2. Make the kimchi mayo

    Blend the kimchi and the mayonnaise together either in a bowl using a stick blender or in a food processor. Leave to one side.

  3. Make the cakes

    Add the chilli, sweetcorn, coriander, salt, garlic and spring onions to the mashed sweet potato and mix well with your hands! Bring together into a ball and then divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball with your hands and flatten to about 1cm thick.

  4. Cook the cakes

    Heat the oil in a frying pan and on a medium heat. Fry each cake for about 5 mins in total, turning halfway through. Set aside to keep warm.

  5. Serve

    Serve drizzled with kimchi mayo and sprinkle with more fresh coriander.
