Cooking StepsHow to cook Zucchini Fritters – Quick Workday Breakfast step by step
-
Step 1 DetailPeel the zucchini and grate it into shreds. One zucchini makes two fritters — enough breakfast for two.
-
Step 2 DetailAdd salt to taste and let sit for 5 minutes, then pour off the excess liquid. If you oversalted, rinse the shreds with water and squeeze dry. If you undersalted, simply drain the excess water.
-
Step 3 DetailCrack in 2 eggs. If you like, add a pinch of thirteen-spice powder — skip it if you don’t. Add cornstarch and flour as needed; keep the cornstarch ratio under one-quarter of the total flour. The total flour amount should roughly equal the zucchini amount — aim for a thick, sticky batter. (Cornstarch makes the fritters softer and less chewy; too much and they’ll fall apart when flipping.)
-
Step 4 DetailThe batter is ready when it reaches this thick, sticky consistency. Spray oil on a flat pan — beginners should use low heat throughout to avoid burning. (An electric griddle makes it even easier.) Use chopsticks to scoop the batter onto the pan and spread it out evenly.
-
Step 5 DetailOne zucchini yields two fritters — a two-person breakfast sorted. With eggs, veggies, and carbs all in one, it’s a pretty healthy and quick breakfast for busy workers.
