Mama Chin's Zucchini Fritters (호박전)

Ingredients:

  • 1 Zucchini, thinly sliced

  • 3 Tbsp all purpose flour

  • 2 Eggs, beaten

  • 3/4 tsp fine sea salt, divided into one 1/4 tsp lot and one 1/2 tsp lot

  • Cooking oil

Steps:

  • Place the sliced zucchini on a flat surface and sprinkle salt (1/4 tsp) around the zucchini evenly. Wait about 5 mins. Wipe off any excess moisture from the zucchini with a paper towel.

  • Place the flour, remaining salt (1/2 tsp) and zucchini in a freezer bag. Shake the bag and ensure the zucchini is evenly coated.

  • Take out the zucchini from the bag one by one, gently shake off excess flour, dunk them into a bowl of beaten egg. Coat both sides of the zucchini with the egg in batches.

  • Preheat a pan over medium heat and add some cooking oil. Place the zucchini on the pan and cook both sides until lightly golden brown (around 1-2 minutes on each side).

  • Transfer to a plate and serve with dipping sauce
