An extremely simple dish, this Indonesian staple wonderfully complements grilled meats.
1 cup freshly cut corn kernels
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 stalk of celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1 hot chili pepper, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Combine all ingredients except oil in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet. Add the vegetable mixture and stir-fry over medium-high heat for about five minutes or until vegetables are golden. Serve immediately.
