Ingredients

Serves 4

Method:

1. Sift the flours and salt together into a large bowl. Add the milk and water mixture and beat till batter is smooth. Add in the egg yolk and the peanut oil. Beat again until thoroughly mixed.

2. Stir in the ginger and leave the mixture to rest for half an hour. Beat the egg white until stiff and add to the batter just before use.

3. Slice the fish into thin pieces and dry on kitchen paper.

4. Dip each piece into the batter and fry in hot oil until golden, taking care not to overcook the fish. Two to three minutes should be enough, cooking three or four pieces at a time.

5. Process the sauce ingredients together in a blender or mix thoroughly by hand, breaking down the sweet corn kernels. Place the sauce in a small pan and bring to simmering point.

6. When all the fish is cooked, pour the sauce over the fish pieces and garnish, if desired, with spring onion flowers.
