Method

Place all the fritter ingredients in a bowl, and mix through to combine well (with hands work best). Roll out into little golfball-sized fritters. 

Heat the oil to perfect frying temperature (170°C). Drop the fritters in one at a time and fry until golden. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

Mix the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl, taste and adjust soy/vinegar and sugar to your tastes.

Serve fritters in a leaf of lettuce with a drizzle of sweet and sour dressing on top.
