Main Ingredients- 1 Zucchini (Korean zucchini or mature zucchini work well)
- 1/2 Carrot (adds color and texture)
- 2 Eggs (for tenderness and richness)
- 2 cups Pancake Mix (or 1.5 cups all-purpose flour + 0.5 cup cornstarch)
- Water (for consistency adjustment)
- Cooking Oil (generous amount)
- Pinch of Pepper (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the zucchini and carrot thoroughly. Then, thinly slice them into half-moons or julienne them. Slicing them not too thick will help them cook evenly.
Step 2
In a bowl, place 2 cups of pancake mix. Add the julienned zucchini and carrot to the mix. (If you’re substituting with flour and cornstarch, add them at this step.)
Step 3
Prepare 2 eggs and crack them into the batter. The eggs will make the fritters even softer and more savory.
Step 4
Gradually add water while mixing the batter. The amount of water may vary depending on the pancake mix or the moisture content of the vegetables, so it’s important to achieve a suitable consistency – not too thin or too thick. (It should be pourable like thick syrup when scooped with a spoon.)
Step 5
Heat a frying pan with a generous amount of cooking oil. Scoop large portions of the batter and place them onto the hot pan. Feel free to make them any size or thickness you prefer. Making them a bit thicker will result in a more tender interior.
Step 6
Cook over medium-low heat until one side is golden brown and crispy. Then, flip and cook the other side until golden and appetizing. Be mindful of the heat; if it’s too high, the outside might burn before the inside is cooked.
Step 7
As the fritters are almost done, prepare a simple dipping sauce in a small bowl by combining 2 Tbsp soy sauce and 1 Tbsp vinegar. You can add water, sugar, and sesame seeds to your preference.
Step 8
Serve the warm zucchini and egg fritters with the dipping sauce on a plate. Your delicious meal is ready! Enjoy your cooking!
