Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup baby corn cut in half lengthwise
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 green onion chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Dip each piece of baby corn into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the fried baby corn with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix the soy sauce, chili sauce, and sesame oil. Toss the crispy baby corn in this sauce until well coated.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onion before serving.
