Instructions:

Tips:

- Soak rice noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them before mixing with the other ingredients.

- Use a food processor to finely shred the carrots and zucchini to ensure even cooking.

- Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the vegetables after shredding to prevent the fritters from becoming too soggy.

- Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet to prevent the fritters from sticking and to achieve a nice, golden-brown crust.

- Flip the fritters gently to avoid breaking them, and cook until both sides are crispy and golden.

- Serve the fritters hot with a dipping sauce, such as a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a touch of sugar.
