Ingredients

• Zucchini - 300 grams, grated
• All-purpose flour - 50 grams
• Cornstarch - 30 grams
• Green onions - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Egg - 1 large
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable oil - for frying

Steps

1. Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture and transfer the grated zucchini to a mixing bowl.
2. Add the finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, flour, cornstarch, egg, salt, black pepper, and sesame oil to the bowl with zucchini. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
