Detailed Instructions

Ingredients

  • 2 cups corn kernels
  • ½ cup custard powder or 1 egg yolk
  • ½ cup corn flour
  • Salt, chili powder
  • 3 tsp butter
  • Oil, some seasoning (pepper, chili powder, salt)

Preparation

  1. Defrost and boil the corn kernels in salted water for about 3-4 minutes, then drain well and let cool.
  2. Mix custard powder (or 1/2 egg yolk) and corn flour together. Add in some 1/2 tsp of salt and and mingle well with the corn kernels. Set aside for about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Make another coating of flour mixture for the corn kernels: better flour coating leads to crunchier fried corn kernels. Mix in with the coated kernel.
  4. Heat butter in a deep saucepan with oil. Add in the kernels and fry until they turn golden. It is better to fry the corn mixture in 2 batches.

Snakehead fish congee can appear as a normal dish of the commoners, but to those who first taste, that dish served in hotpot style is quite a surprise.
