  1. Only rating the fritters. I didn't make the sauce. Loved them!
     
  2. Great fritters. I loved the relish that went with them, it really added to the fritters. Served them with Recipe #101525.
     
  3. If I can give this 10 stars, I certainly would. I now have the ultimate corn fritter recipe! I used fresh corn as indicated, but instead of using a hand grater, a blender was used for half of the corn called for in the recipe. Using fresh corn gives wonderful chewiness to the final dish, but I would think that frozen corn in a bag would also work fine here. The sauce elevates this dish and the sauce is a perfect match to the fritters. The sauce is sweet and sour in taste with lots of garlic flavor permeating throughout. I used plum sauce but for those without plum sauce, plum, peach, apricot, or pineapple jam/jelly thinned with a bit of water would work here. The garlic was used fresh and I did not cook it. I highly recommend this recipe. Yummy! Thank you for posting this recipe here. Made for Asian forum's unrated Asian recipe tag.
