Here's a Thai-inspired snack that's sure to wow with its bold, savory, and spicy flavors - complete with the star of the dish, scallions. This recipe is a twist on the traditional Thai corn fritter, packed with fresh scallions to add a pop of color and a mild oniony flavor that balances the sweetness of corn.

Ingredients (for 2)

Preparation

  1. Step 1 - 🌽🥣🥚
    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sweet corn kernels, 6 finely chopped scallions, 1 deseeded and finely chopped red chili, 2 cloves of smashed garlic, 1/2 cup of organic unbleached flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, a beaten egg (or vegan egg substitute), and a pinch of salt. Stir to create a well-combined batter.
  2. Step 2 - 🍳🔥🥄
    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once heated, drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil. Fry each side of the fritters for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. Step 3 - 🍽️🌶️🍋
    Serve the fritters warm with a side of Thai sweet chili sauce. Garnish with a lime wedge.
