The Method

1
In a large bowl, combine the chopped glass noodles, shredded carrot, cabbage, green onion, diced red bell pepper, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
2
Add soy sauce, rice flour, cornstarch, and sesame oil to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated. The mixture should be thick enough to form patties. Add a tablespoon of water at a time if needed, but be careful not to make it too wet.
3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together lime juice, vegetarian fish sauce (or soy sauce), sugar, and red chili flakes (if using) for the dipping sauce. Set aside.
4
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or wok over medium-high heat (about 1/2 inch deep).
5
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the noodle mixture into the hot oil, forming small fritters. Don't overcrowd the pan.
6
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
7
Garnish the fritters with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with the zesty lime dipping sauce.

Chef's Tips

Ensure the glass noodles are well-drained before adding them to the mixture to prevent soggy fritters.

Adjust the amount of rice flour and cornstarch to achieve the desired consistency. The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape when formed into patties.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of curry powder or turmeric to the fritter mixture.

The fritters are best served immediately while they are still crispy.

If you don't have vegetarian fish sauce, you can substitute it with an equal amount of soy sauce with a pinch of seaweed flakes for a hint of umami.
