Follow these steps
Chickpea Fritters
- Finely chop the green onions and cilantro.
- Attach the Mincer with the 4.5mm grinding disc to your Assistent stand mixer.
- Grind the soaked chickpeas.
- Add remaining ingredients to the ground chickpeas and mix thoroughly.
- Shape into 20 flat patties (about 30 g / 1 oz each).

Gochujang Sauce
