Time 40m

Yield 4 appetizer portions

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
1/3 cup Bango or other kecap manis
4 ears of corn, kernels cut from cob, or one 15 1/4 ounce can of corn, drained
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon red bell pepper, julienned into pieces 1/2 inch long, and 1/8 inch wide
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons corn starch
2 tablespoons rice flour
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
Salt
Vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the sauce: In a small bowl, combine sweet chili sauce and kecap manis. Mix and set aside.
  • For the fritters: In a large bowl, combine half the corn kernels, garlic, red bell pepper, nutmeg, ground pepper and egg. Mix well. Place in blender and process at medium speed until pureed. (Variations: For a smooth fritter, add all the corn to the blender; for a very crunchy fritter, reserve all of the corn for Step no. 3)
  • Transfer back to bowl; add corn starch, rice flour, shallot and reserved whole corn kernels. Mix well, and season with salt to taste.
  • In a wok or a deep frying pan over high heat, add vegetable oil to a depth of 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Heat to 350 degrees. Working in batches, scoop up corn mixture 1 tablespoon at a time, and add to hot oil; be careful not to crowd pan. Fry until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes a side; fresh corn may take slightly longer to brown than canned. Drain and place on paper towels. Serve with dipping sauce.

I'm allergic to corn, so I can't eat these fritters. But they look delicious!

These corn fritters are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less sugar in the batter.

I'm not a big fan of corn, but these fritters were surprisingly good. I think it's because the batter is so light and fluffy.

These corn fritters are a great way to use up leftover corn. I always have a few ears of corn left over after a cookout, and this is a great way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my corn fritters didn't turn out as crispy as I had hoped. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These corn fritters were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more seasonings to the batter.

These corn fritters were easy to make and turned out perfectly! I used fresh corn from my garden, and they were so sweet and flavorful. I served them with a side of maple syrup, and they were delicious.

These corn fritters were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a delicious corn flavor. I served them with a side of sour cream and salsa, and everyone loved them.
