Spiced Thai Corn Cakes Recipes

SPICY CORN CAKES

Steps:

• Remove the kernels of corn from the cob. The best way to do it is to remove by hand, peeling in a downward motion, one at a time. This preserves the whole kernel, and leaves them juicy and flavorful when you bite into them. If you're lazy, you can use a knife and slice them off. Or even lazier, just get frozen corn. Whole kernels do taste better, however, and don't explode when you fry them. In a bowl, add the corn, flour, egg, curry paste, sugar and lime leaves. Mix well. Drop by rounded spoonful (and smush a bit once in the pan to flatten) into hot oil. Cook on medium-high heat until golden brown, flipping once. It should take about one minute per side. Serve with Slightly Pickled Cucumber Salad.
