Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels (or canned, drained)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
- 1 unit Red chili, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, finely diced

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the corn kernels, chopped green onion, and red chili to form a batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan, leaving space between each. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To prepare the hot spicy oriental relish, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes in a small bowl.
Stir in the diced cucumber and shredded carrot until well coated.
Serve the corn fritters warm, accompanied by the spicy oriental relish on the side or drizzled on top.
