  • 3 Spring onions finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp Fish Sauce
  • 1 tsp Lime Zest finely grated
  • Sweet chilli sauce optional, to serve
  • 1 Garlic Clove finely grated
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 300 g sweetcorn kernels fresh, tinned (drained) or thawed frozen
  • 2 Eggs lightly beaten
  • 80 g Plain Flour
  • lime wedges, to serve

  • 1 small red chilli finely chopped, optional
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • 40 g Rice Flour for extra crispness
  • Salt, to taste

Method

15m20m35m
  1. In a large bowl, mix plain flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.
  2. Add eggs, fish sauce and lime zest, whisking into a thick batter.
  3. Fold in sweetcorn, spring onions, coriander, chilli and garlic until evenly combined.
  4. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large hob frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Drop heaped tablespoons of batter into the pan, flattening lightly. Fry in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  6. Transfer to a wire rack or paper-lined plate and keep warm while cooking the remaining fritters.
  7. Serve hot with sweet chilli sauce and lime wedges.

Notes

Rice flour helps the fritters crisp up beautifully, but plain flour alone also works.
Do not overcrowd the pan; batch frying keeps edges crisp.
For a milder version, reduce or skip the fresh chilli.
