Ingredients - Serves 4

Let's Get Started

  1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add the corn kernels, green onions, and minced garlic to the flour mixture. Mix well to coat the corn evenly.
  3. Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring until you have a thick batter consistency.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the corn batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  6. Fry the fritters until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  7. Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  8. Serve the Ngo Chien hot as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
