Corn Cheese Balls
Ingredients
- 1 14 oz canned corn
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch substitute with potato starch
- 1/2 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 1/2 tsp sugar adjust to taste
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp cold water
- 5-6 cheese cubes
- neutral oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oil in a medium-sized pot to 350F (175C).
- Drain a can of corn well. Then transfer to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt. Using your hands, toss until every kernel is fully coated.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk 1 egg with cold water until well combined. Pour the egg into the corn and toss to mix well.
- Take about 2 tablespoons of the corn mixture and place a cheese cube in the center. Take another 2 tablespoons of corn to cover the cheese. Using the palm of your hands, gently squeeze the corn until it forms a ball.
- Using a sieve or slotted spoon, carefully lower the corn ball into the hotel oil. Fry the corn ball for 4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve with a side of mayo and chili powder and enjoy!
