- 100 grams Bean sprouts
- 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Rice flour

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, and salt.
Add the egg, coconut milk, and water to the flour mixture. Whisk well until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Fold in the garlic, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and black pepper into the batter.
Add the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, bean sprouts, and sliced scallions to the batter. Mix until all the vegetables are well-coated with the batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it's hot but not smoking.
Carefully scoop out heaping tablespoons of the mixture and gently drop them into the hot oil.
Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
