Main Ingredients- 1 medium zucchini
- 2-3 pieces pollock roe (myeongranjeot)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and slice it into rounds about 1 cm thick. Slicing them too thin might cause them to break apart easily, so aim for a consistent, moderate thickness.
Step 2
Using a small cookie cutter, the rim of a small glass, or any round cutter, carefully cut out the center of each zucchini slice to create a well. Avoid making the hole too large, as the pollock roe might fall out. A moderately sized cavity is ideal.
Step 3
Gently make a slit along the pollock roe to open it. Using a spoon or chopsticks, carefully scrape out only the inner roe, discarding the outer membrane. The pollock roe is already seasoned, so no additional seasoning is needed.
Step 4
Spoon the prepared pollock roe filling into the hollowed-out centers of the zucchini slices. Gently press it in to ensure it stays put during cooking.
Step 5
Lightly dust both sides of the stuffed zucchini with pancake mix (or all-purpose flour). This coating helps the egg batter adhere better and contributes to a crispier finish.
Step 6
In a bowl, whisk the 2 eggs until well beaten to create the egg batter. Dip each flour-dusted zucchini fritter into the egg batter, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
Step 7
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Place the egg-coated zucchini fritters in the hot oil. Cook until one side is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning and ensure the inside is fully cooked. Your delicious Zucchini Pollock Roe Fritters are ready to be enjoyed! They are best served warm.
