Zucchini fritters with soy-vinegar sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines the mild flavor of zucchini with a tangy and spicy dipping sauce. These fritters are perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or even a tasty snack. 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:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
