How to Make Fried Zucchini
-
Prepare the zucchini
After buying the zucchini, wash it thoroughly with diluted salt water and then rinse with plain water (if you want to eat the skin), otherwise, wash it clean and use a knife to peel the outer skin of the zucchini.
Next, cut off both ends of the zucchini and slice it into pieces about 0.5cm thick.
Spread the zucchini slices evenly on a tray and sprinkle a little salt to marinate; you don’t need to wait for the salt to soak into the zucchini because the breadcrumbs usually have seasoning already added.

Dredging in flour
First, crack 2 eggs into a bowl and beat well.
Next, put the breadcrumbs into a clean container or plastic bag, then add the sliced zucchini and shake well to coat the zucchini evenly with the flour.

You should choose eggs of moderate size, with slightly rough shells and a hefty feel. When shaken lightly, the egg should feel dense and not make noise inside.
