Savory Zucchini Pancakes with Fried Chicken Seasoning
Rolled Zucchini Pancakes with Fried Chicken Seasoning – A Hit for Kids’ Meals!
Enjoy the delightful crispy texture of zucchini pancakes with a unique twist! Instead of regular flour or pancake mix, we’re using fried chicken seasoning for an extra savory and delicious flavor. Rolling them up makes them a fun and appealing dish for children, who will love the subtle taste of fried chicken. These zucchini pancakes are also a fantastic snack or appetizer for adults, perfect with a cold drink.
Ingredients- 1 Zucchini
- 5 Tbsp Fried Chicken Seasoning Mix
- 1 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Egg
- Water (to adjust batter consistency)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat it dry. Then, julienne it into thin strips, about 0.5 cm thick. Aim for consistent thickness so they cook evenly. If the strips are too thick, they might not cook through properly; too thin, and they might break apart.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the 5 tablespoons of fried chicken seasoning mix and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Crack in the egg and add about 2/3 of a mug (approximately 120ml) of water. Whisk everything together with a whisk or fork until you have a smooth batter with no lumps. The batter should be slightly thin, which helps it coat the zucchini well and makes the pancakes easier to cook. You can adjust the amount of water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 3
Add the julienned zucchini to the batter. Gently toss and mix using chopsticks or a spatula, ensuring that all the zucchini strips are evenly coated with the batter. Be careful not to overmix or stir too vigorously, as this could break the zucchini.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Ladle spoonfuls of the zucchini batter onto the hot pan, spreading them thinly into pancake shapes. Once the pancakes are about two-thirds cooked and the edges start to lift slightly, begin to carefully roll them up from one end using chopsticks or a spatula. (Tip: While the recipe calls for 5 Tbsp chicken seasoning and 1 Tbsp flour, using 4 Tbsp chicken seasoning and 2 Tbsp flour might make rolling easier.) Once rolled, you can gently wrap them in a bamboo sushi mat to shape them further and ensure they hold their form. This also creates attractive striped patterns.
Step 5
Alternatively, you can spoon the batter onto the pan and cook it as a larger, flatter zucchini pancake, or form them into small, round fritters. Feel free to customize them to your liking!
