Made with simple ingredients, this recipe is great for using up an abundance of zucchini and adds a flavorful twist with the soy-vinegar dipping sauce.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp vinegar
44g
1 tbsp soy sauce
18g
1.50 tsp sugar
6g
1/4 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.08g
3 zucchini
970g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1 egg
54g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
3 tbsp chives
9g
1 tbsp cornstarch
8g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/3 cup vegetable oil
77g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Soy-Vinegar Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1.5 teaspoons of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper.
- Mix until the sugar is completely dissolved and set aside.
2. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash and trim the ends off the 3 zucchinis.
- Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor.
- Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Toss to combine and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This will help to draw out excess moisture.
- After 10 minutes, use your hands or a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini.
3. Make the Fritter Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of finely chopped chives, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and a dash of black pepper.
- Stir everything together until well combined.
4. Cook the Fritters:
- Heat 1/3 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritters.
- Cook the fritters in batches, avoiding overcrowding the skillet. Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
5. Serve:
- Serve the zucchini fritters hot, with the soy-vinegar sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips:

- Make sure to squeeze as much moisture out of the shredded zucchini as possible to ensure the fritters stay crispy. A clean kitchen towel works well for this.

- If you want a spicier sauce, feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper according to your taste preference.

- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or non-stick pan to fry the fritters evenly and avoid sticking.

- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying. Cook the fritters in batches if necessary to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.

- You can keep the cooked fritters warm in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) if frying in multiple batches.

Zucchini fritters with soy-vinegar sauce are a delightful treat that can be enjoyed by all. The crispy fritters paired with the tangy and slightly spicy sauce make for a perfect combination of flavors and textures. Whether you're serving these at a party or indulging in a personal snack, this recipe is sure to impress. Enjoy your delicious zucchini fritters hot and freshly made!
