Carefully drop spoonfuls of the sweet potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
~10 min - 5
Remove the fritters from the pan with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
~1 min - 6
While the fritters are frying, prepare the gochujang glaze by whisking together gochujang, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
~2 min - 7
Prepare the kimchi aioli by finely mincing the kimchi and combining it with mayonnaise and minced garlic in another small bowl.
~2 min - 8
Brush the warm fritters generously with the gochujang glaze.
~1 min - 9
Serve the glazed fritters immediately with the kimchi aioli for dipping.

Tips
- Ensure the frying oil is hot enough before adding the fritters to achieve a crispy exterior. If the oil is not hot enough, the fritters will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- For a spicier aioli, add a pinch of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) to the kimchi mixture.
