½ cup cooked corn kernels
¼ cup fresh ginger, minced and sautéed for 1 minute

1 scallion, thinly sliced
3 chives, minced

Directions:
Mix together flours, water, chili paste and salt until smooth. It should be thick but not too runny or watery. Add the remaining ingredients and combine until mixed – do not over mix.
Heat a large pot with cooking oil. Test for proper heating by taking a drip of batter and dropping it in the pot – if we’re sizzling then we’re ready to go!
Take a spoonful of batter and drop into the oil. Be sure to leave lots of space for them to float around until they are golden brown. Cook for 3-5 minutes.
Transfer to a plate, let cool for a minute and dig in.
