Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Marinating zucchini with salted shrimp instead of salt brings out its deep, savory umami flavor.
  • Do not press the breadcrumbs firmly—just lightly dust them to prevent burning and ensure crispiness.
  • For easier coating when handling large quantities, place zucchini and flour in a food-safe plastic bag and shake well.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a crispy texture similar to Japanese tempura instead of regular zucchini fritters.
  • Home cooks wanting to create flavorful side dishes using salted shrimp for enhanced savoriness.
  • People looking for a simple, light appetizer to enjoy with makgeolli.
