- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups tempura flour
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let me introduce you to these wonderful zucchini fritters! They are a fantastic way to enjoy zucchini, especially when in season. This version is special because it’s made extra crispy using a delightful mix of flour and tempura flour, and best of all, no eggs are needed!
Step 2
First, prepare your zucchinis. Wash two medium zucchinis thoroughly. Then, slice them into relatively thick rounds, about 0.5 cm (approximately 1/4 inch) thick. Slicing them a bit thicker will prevent them from becoming too soft and will give you a pleasant bite.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the batter for our delicious zucchini fritters. In a bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 2 cups of tempura flour. This 1:1 ratio is key to achieving that satisfying crispiness! Add a pinch of salt for flavor and gradually pour in water while whisking until you have a smooth batter. The consistency should be like pancake batter – not too thick, not too thin.
Step 4
For an even chewier texture, you can optionally add a tablespoon or two of glutinous rice flour to the batter. (However, the fritters will still be delicious without it!). Whisk the batter well to ensure there are no lumps and it’s smooth and consistent.
Step 5
Next, take the sliced zucchinis and gently coat each slice thoroughly with the prepared batter. Make sure each piece is well-covered. This coating will help the fritters cook up beautifully and prevent the batter from falling off during frying.
Step 6
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Using enough oil is important for achieving evenly golden-brown and crispy fritters without them sticking or burning. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the battered zucchini slices into the pan.
Step 7
Fry the zucchini fritters over medium-low heat, turning them occasionally. Cook until each side is a beautiful golden-brown color. Once one side is nicely browned, flip it over and cook the other side until golden. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Step 8
Voila! Your crispy zucchini fritters, coated generously with tempura flour for that extra crunch, are ready. They look incredibly appetizing, don’t they? The outside is wonderfully crisp, while the inside retains the natural sweetness of the zucchini.
Step 9
And there you have it – perfectly finished zucchini fritters! They taste best served warm. Enjoy them with a side of soy-based dipping sauce. These fritters make a fantastic snack or appetizer for any occasion!
