would it be weird if i impulsively made corn kakiage at 11 pm at night

I did it i like deep fried goop foods

@Lucy looks weird and tasty

@wallhackio it's just a light batter and corn fried together, it's quite good

@Lucy i do have some corn in the fridge... and i have a fuckton of peanut oil that i bought from Costco............

@wallhackio this is the recipe i followed, i used tapioca flour instead of starch but it seemed to work just fine that way too. came together in like 20 minutes https://pattyplates.com/corn-kakiage-japanese-style-corn-fritters/

@Lucy okay I finally made this shit

I fucked it up real bad the first time and forgot to add sparkling water. This caused the kernels not to congeal at all and I had to fish all of them out of the oil with a mesh strainer, very annoying

The one in the image was too fat, so there was a lot of uncrusted kernels inside which actually was a pretty interesting eating experience in its own right, crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside.

The seasonings listed in the recipe were way too little, I would at least double it on another attempt

I had issues with some violent popping that causes massive oil splatters that felt quite dangerous, did you have this issue?
