Method 7 steps
If using frozen corn, thaw. If using canned corn, microwave in a glass bowl or gently heat on the stove until warm.
Coat corn with a light layer of egg wash.
Mix salt, pepper, MSG, and other spices into the flour.
Move corn from the egg wash, and toss with the flour mixture until well-coated.
Heat enough oil for deep-frying to moderate–high heat.
Deep-fry floured corn until golden brown on the outside (less than 2 minutes).
Serve as a complement to another dish.
