Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Corn
- Steam or pressure cook the corn for 2 whistles (or until tender). Allow the pressure to release naturally, then drain the corn and cut the kernels off the cob.
- Gently pat the corn kernels dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a bowl, toss the corn kernels with 1/2 cup corn flour and 1 teaspoon of salt, ensuring each kernel is evenly coated. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
Prepare the Salad
- Finely chop the carrot and cucumber.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chopped carrot, cucumber, and coriander. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Fry the Corn
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the corn kernels in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the crispy corn from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Assemble the Salad
- Just before serving, gently toss the crispy corn kernels with the prepared vegetable salad. Serve immediately to prevent the corn from becoming soggy.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice to the salad.
- Experiment with other vegetables like bell peppers or red onion.
- If you don't have corn flour, you can try using all-purpose flour, but the texture might be slightly different.
- To ensure perfectly crispy corn, make sure the kernels are completely dry before frying.
