Serves 4-61 cup of cooked corn kernels1 small zucchini peeled and grated50 grams plain flourgenerous pinch salt2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives1 egg whiskedgenerous pinch whole celery seeds (optional)30 ml of wateroil for fryingAdd all of the ingredients to a bowl – adding the water last, a little at a time until the mixture is the consistency of a thick paste. You may not need to use it all. Mix the ingredients with a spoon to combine. Heat a pan with oil and add scoops of the mixture to the hot oil to fry. Turn each fritter once. Remove from the oil when golden brown on both sides and drain on paper towel. Serve with dipping sauce of choice and a salad, or serve as a side dishNotesTest if the oil is hot enough to commence cooking the fritters by placing the end of a wooden spoon into the oil. If tiny bubbles rise from around the end of the immersed handle the oil is hot enough. Take extra care when cooking with hot oil and ensure children are not in the immediate vicinity and that the oil is not left unattended for any length of time.If you do not have fresh chives available substitute with any herbs – the recipe works well with sage and thyme also

Turn stove off and let noodles sit in pot of hot water with covered lid for almost five minutes (until soft), and then, drain water from noodles. Have all of your ingredients prepped and at hand ready to use. Sit down with a bowl of water and spread out a damp, cotton cloth and get ready to roll. Remember that whatever is pressing against the rice paper will show, so if you are going to use eatable flowers, place them first on the rice paper. Begin by submerging the rice paper into the bowl of water and remove, holing it allowing all excess water to drip off. Then, lay the moist rice paper onto the damp cloth and begin placing ingredients toward bottom side of rice paper. Fill so that you are able to fold ingredients into rice paper by rolling with your fingers all while not breaking the paper. Once all rolls are made, cut in half and set aside until dipping sauce is ready.
