25 min total3 servings

Ingredients

  • Baby corn - 15 whole
  • Corn flour - 2 tsp
  • All-purpose flour - 2 tsp
  • Onion - 1 tsp
  • Black pepper - 1 tbsp
  • Garlic - 1 tsp
  • Ginger - 1 tsp
  • Dry red chilli - 1 tsp
  • Soy sauce - 2 tsp
  • Salt
  • Oil
  • Spring onion, for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1Make a batter by combining 2 tsp corn flour, 2 tsp all-purpose flour and salt, whisking until smooth.
  2. 2Dip the baby corn in the batter so each piece is evenly coated, then deep fry in oil till golden brown in color; watch the pan so they crisp without burning.
  3. 3Remove the fried baby corn and cut the pieces into medium pieces so they are easy to eat.
  4. 4Heat a little oil in a pan, then sauté the onion, garlic and ginger until fragrant and softened.
  5. 5Add 1 tbsp black pepper and 1 tsp dry red chilli to the pan and sauté briefly to release their aroma.
  6. 6Add 2 tsp soy sauce and the fried baby corn pieces, toss to coat and mix well; check for salt because the soy sauce and batter contain salt, so there is no need to add more salt.
  7. 7Garnish with finely chopped spring onion and serve with fried rice.
