INGREDIENTS 1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg
1 cup water
2 cups summer squash, grated
1 cup bean sprouts
3 scallions
1 tablespoon oilMake batter by sifting flour, baking soda, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Beat egg in a separate bowl and add to water. Then slowly add the egg-water mixture to the flour mixture, beating as you do so.
Cut scallions into 2-inch pieces, and then into slivers. Add the squash, sprouts, and scallions to the batter. (One fritter equals a heaping tablespoon of the batter).
Traditionally, these would then be fried in a 1/2-inch of oil at 350 to 375 degrees. To avoid some fat, fry in minimal amount of oil until lightly browned. Turn during cooking to evenly brown.
