Ingredients:
  • large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 6 ounces lump crabmeat, drained, flaked and picked over for cartilage
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen (thawed) or canned sweet corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro or Thai basil
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Canola oil for frying
  • Thai Chili Roasted Garlic Dipping Sauce or other favorite dipping sauce

Instructions:

In medium bowl combine eggs, fish or soy sauce, chili garlic sauce and ginger. Stir in crabmeat, corn, green onions and cilantro. Add flour; stir until ingredients are combined.

In 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1/2-inch canola oil until hot. Carefully spoon crab mixture by rounded tablespoonfuls into hot oil, flattening slightly with spoon. Cook fritters about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining batter.

Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
