Crispy Zucchini Fritters

Thin-sliced zucchini dipped in a savory egg batter and pan-fried until golden and crispy on both sides. Served with a bright soy-vinegar dipping sauce—the Korean street-food version that tastes way better than it sounds.

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice zucchini lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick strips. Pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk eggs with flour and a pinch of salt in a shallow bowl until smooth.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer fritters to a plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and a pinch of salt.

  6. Step 6

    Stir soy sauce with rice vinegar and 1 tbsp water. Serve alongside as a dipping sauce.
