Preparation

Combine the eggs and onion in a bowl and season well with salt and black pepper. Lightly beat until combined.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Place 2 tablespoons bean sprouts on a small plate to form a 6 cm round and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the egg mixture. Top the bean sprouts with 1 tablespoon coriander, 2 prawns and 3 tofu cubes, then pour over 2 more tablespoons of the egg mixture. Shake the plate gently to distribute the egg. Holding the plate close to the surface of the oil, slide the batter off the plate into the frying pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden then gently turn and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the fritter is crisp and cooked through.
Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately with chilli and vinegar dipping sauce.
