Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, green onions, red chili, cilantro, and garlic.

  2. Step 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, lime juice, fish sauce, and water until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in corn kernels.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. Step 5

    Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into hot oil and fry 2-3 fritters at a time, without crowding.

  6. Step 6

    Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  7. Step 7

    Arrange fritters on a serving platter, garnish with cilantro sprigs, and serve warm with sweet chili sauce and lime wedges.
