Ingredients

• 6 stalks green onions (scallions)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, ground
• 0.75 cup water
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and thinly slice the green onions, both the green and white parts. Set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the water and egg until fully combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick, smooth batter forms. If the batter is too thick, you can add a small amount of water (1 teaspoon at a time) to reach the desired consistency.

Step 5

Fold the sliced green onions into the batter, ensuring they are evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small drop of batter sizzles immediately upon contact.

Step 7

Using a spoon or small ladle, carefully drop 2 to 3 tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil for each fritter. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.

Step 8

Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; fry in batches if necessary.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve warm with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
