How to Prepare
Boil the sweet corn kernels in water for 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine corn kernels with cornflour, all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Mix well to coat evenly.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping a small coated corn kernel; it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the coated corn kernels in small batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on paper towels.
In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp oil, add chopped garlic, green chilies, and spring onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Add soy sauce, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Toss the fried corn in this mixture for 1 minute.
Garnish with additional spring onions and serve hot.
