In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt, and ground pepper.
Add the minced garlic, julienned carrot, shredded cabbage, corn kernels, and sliced scallions to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
Gradually add water to the vegetable mixture while stirring until a thick batter forms. The batter should hold the vegetables together but not be runny.
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the surface.
Using a spoon or a small ladle, carefully drop portions of the batter into the hot oil, creating fritters. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the bakwan sayur for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve the soy-free bakwan sayur immediately while hot and crispy, optionally with a dipping sauce such as chili sauce.
