Ingredients

1 tsp grated ginger
4 tbsp water
1 cup flour
1/4 salt
4 tbsp ginger water
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp corn syrup
oil for frying (optional)
1 tsp pine nuts (optional)
1/2 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp green tea powder
2 tbsp ginger water
1/2 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt
2 tbsp beet water flavored with ginger

Steps

Steep the grated ginger in 4 tablespoons water for 5 minutes, then strain to make ginger water.
Mix 1 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 4 tablespoons ginger water into a dough; mix the remaining flours with their salts, green tea powder, and ginger or beet water into two more doughs.
Rest the doughs for 5 minutes, then roll each thin, cut strips, and make a small slit in each strip.
Heat 2 inches of frying oil to 350 F and fry the cookies in batches for 2 to 3 minutes until crisp and lightly browned.
Boil the sugar, 1/4 cup water, and corn syrup in a small pan for 4 minutes to make the syrup.
Toss the warm cookies with the syrup and sprinkle with pine nuts.
