A lime wedge perched slightly on top of the fritters brings a pop of citrusy color to the setting.

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)

Scallions — 6 — finely chopped

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.
