Asia Unplated
Ingredients
2 cups fresh corn kernels removed from the cob (frozen corn can be used as substitute)
1 shallot, finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 spring onion, thinly sliced
2 stalks Chinese celery, thinly sliced (optional)
3 eggs
150g plain flour
75g rice flour
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
300ml ice-cold water
Vegetable oil, enough for deep frying
Coriander leaves, for garnish
Method
In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients except the oil and garnish and mix thoroughly using a spatula into a thick batter.
Heat enough oil to 170 degrees C in a wok or a deep pan to cover the fritters for deep frying.
Using a ladle, pour in the batter into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain the fritters on a wire rack. Repeat with the others.
To serve, place neatly onto a platter and serve with some sweet chilli sauce and garnish with coriander leaves.
