Step 1
Slice zucchini lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick strips. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Whisk eggs with flour and a pinch of salt in a shallow bowl until smooth.
Step 3
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds. Test with a single drop of batter—it should sizzle immediately.
Step 4
Dip each zucchini strip into batter, coating both sides, then slide into hot oil. Fry in batches without crowding—about 90 seconds per side until golden and crispy.
Step 5
Transfer fritters to a plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Stir soy sauce with rice vinegar and 1 tbsp water. Serve alongside as a dipping sauce.
