Ingredients:

• 2 ears of corn, kernels removed
• 1 cup edamame
• Cooking oil, for frying
• Chinsu Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce, for serving

Batter:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾–1 cup ice-cold sparkling water
• 1 egg yolk (optional, for a richer, golden crust)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.

1. Add the corn and edamame to the dry mixture and toss to coat.
2. In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolk with ¾ cup ice-cold sparkling water, if using.
3. Pour the sparkling water mixture into the corn and edamame mixture. Gently stir until everything is just combined. Do not overmix—a few small lumps are perfectly fine.
4. If the batter feels too thick, gradually add more sparkling water until you have a light batter that coats the vegetables without being too heavy.
5. Heat oil to 350–375°F (175–190°C). Scoop portions of the mixture into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and shatteringly crisp.
6. Transfer the fritters to a wire rack to drain and stay crispy. Avoid placing them directly on paper towels, which can trap steam and soften the crust.
7. Serve immediately with Chinsu Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce for dipping.
