Directions
Fritter
Start by making the fritters. Add the plain flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Next, pour in the water and mix well to create a sticky batter.
Pour enough oil for deep-frying in a deep pan and heat it up. Test the oil if its ready with a tiny bit of the batter. If it sizzles and floats, the oil is now ready for deep-frying.
Put about 1 big tablespoon of the batter into the hot oil and deep fry until golden brown. It usually takes around 4-5 minutes on medium heat. Once done, set aside and allow to cool.
Mee goreng sauce
Mix Satay Chilli Paste, light soy sauce, sweet soy sauce and ketchup in a bowl. Set aside.
