Add 1 tablespoon of organic cornstarch to the bowl.

Add 5 tablespoons of breadcrumbs to the mixture.

Add at least 0.5 tablespoon of soy sauce.

Add 0.25 teaspoon of salt, 0.125 teaspoon of paprika, 0.125 teaspoon of ground pepper, a tiny bit of cayenne, and chili powder to taste.

Let the mixture sit for a little while to combine flavors.

Preheat a skillet with a layer of oil over medium heat.

Scoop the mixture into the skillet and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Flip the patties after about 2 minutes and fry the other side for another 2 minutes.

Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
