If you've ever been to Koh Samui, Koh Phangan or Koh Tao in Thailand, you may have come across these delicious deep fried snacks. The recipe appears to be a bit of a secret, but I have finally managed to uncover it.
I am tempted to keep it a secret, just for the fun of it, but hey. It isn't really that difficult to figure out.
Ingredients: (makes about 18 No Names)
150g tempura batter mix (you can make your own of course)
1 egg
150ml sparkling water
A selection of vegetables, peanuts and chicken all diced up quite small.
I used onion, bok choy, peppers and soy beans. But any soft vegetables are good.
Use as much as it takes to fill the batter with goodies.
Heat oil for deep frying in a suitable pan. Drop a tiny bit of batter in the oil, to see if it starts frying. Once it does drop spoonfuls carefully into the oil. Don't overcrowd the pan. The fritters will fry away happily and turn them self around as they cook, if they have enough room to move. However you can give them a little hand if they don't.
Once they have an appetising golden brown colour they are ready to be fished out with a slotted spoon and placed on kitchen roll to drain any excess oil.
They must be served with sweet chilli sauce.
Careful! Leave them to cool a little before you take your fist desperate bite ;)
