Asian style Corn Pancakes

I have a certain fondness for Fresh Corn. Good for Grilling and eating. Here in the Mid-West we get a lot of it. I heard on the News that there should be a "Bumper" crop of corn this year. Weather permitting of course.

• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 chili pepper
• Fresh ginger, chopped (about a 1/2 inch piece)
• 1 1/2 cups of fresh corn or 1 can of sweet corn
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup of cornstarch
• 2 Tbl Cilantro leaves
• 1 Tbl of Chili sauce (Sriracha sauce works good)
• 1 Tbl of Peanut oil

1. Chop the garlic, Ginger, and the chili pepper
2. Combine the garlic, chili, 1/2 of the corn, eggs, cornstarch, Cilantro, and chili sauce in a food processor. process until smooth. (This can be done by hand. Use a potato masher to combine and MASH until it is mixed well)
3. Fold in the remaining corn
4. Heat a frying pan with the oil
5. In the pan add 2 Tbl of the mixture to make a pattie. Cook 2-3 minutes then turn and cook 1-2 minutes.
6. Drain on Paper towels.
7. Serve with Spicy mayo (see next recipe)

**Here is the spicy Mayo recipe

• 2/3 of a cup of Mayo
• 1/4 cup of Lime juice
• 1/3 cup of Cilantro leaves, chopped
• 8 scallions (or chives), chopped

1. Combine all ingredients well. Salt and pepper to taste
