4ears fresh corncooked and cut off the cob (or 2 cups frozen or canned corn kernels)
2scallionsfinely sliced, divided in half
1/4cupyellow onionfinely chopped
4tablespoonsJapanese mayonnaise
1/2teaspoonsalt
1/2teaspoonground black pepper
1egg
1cupmozzarella cheeseshredded
1/4cup+ 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3tablespoonsbutter
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the corn kernels, 1 chopped scallion (reserve the other scallion for garnish), onion, Japanese mayonnaise, salt, pepper, egg, and mozzarella. Mix well to combine. Next, add the flour and mix again to combine. The batter should be thick and hold together. If not, add some extra flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Work in batches to cook the fritters. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and then scoop in 1/4 cup of the corn mixture per fritter, making sure that they are evenly spaced and have a enough room to be flipped in the pan. For a 30-cm pan, I can comfortably fit 4 fritters per batch.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook the fritters from 4-5 minutes per side, flipping once the first side has become golden brown. Once the fritters are cooked on both sides, remove the fritters from the pan and continue the process with the rest of the corn mixture.
Once all the fritters are cooked, serve immediately with a garnish of chopped scallions. Enjoy!
