Ingredients

1 ½ lbs Shredded ʻulu
½ lb ʻUlu paʻiʻai/mashed
2 Tbsp AP ʻUlu Flour / Gluten-free flour
½ tsp Paprika
½ tsp Onion powder
½ tsp Fresh or dried oregano
Pepper and salt to taste
⅛ - ¼ Cup Coconut milk
4 Cups Coconut or vegetable oil for frying in a wok or deep fry pan

Directions

Steam your fresh ulu for 10 - 25 minutes and let cool. If using Hawaiʻi ʻUlu Co-op Recipe-Ready ʻUlu, follow heating instructions, then shred with a cheese grater and make ʻulu paʻiʻai with a pounder or food processor. You can also use a fork to mash.
In a small bowl, mix the ʻulu flour and seasonings.
In a large bowl, add your shredded ʻulu, ʻulu paʻiʻai, flour mixture, and mix thoroughly with your hands. It should result in a pie crust consistency.
Slowly add in your coconut milk until it becomes a dough.
Heat the frying oil on medium heat making sure it is hot enough to sizzle when tots are placed in the pan. Add in your tots so they are immersed, and fry until golden and crispy.
Lay your tots on a plate with a paper towel and immediately and salt and pepper to taste.
