Hobak jeon

Hobak jeon or pan fried zucchini slices has been featured in the drama series over and over again. I am intrigued by them, especially in Glory of the family where Dan-ah made them so pretty.

Hobak jeon are easy to make and they taste good. No wonder they are popular.

Hobak jeon

1 green zucchini
1 large egg
1/3 cup flour
Salt
Vegetable oil

Dipping sauce:
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar

1. Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch slices and lay them in layers on a plate.

2. Lightly sprinkle the zucchini slices with salt. Don't over salt the slices as you will be dipping the jeon in soy sauce. Set aside for 5-7 minutes.
3. Put some flour in a shallow bowl. Whisk the egg in another bowl.

4. Coat the zucchini slices with flour on both sides and set aside.

5. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
6. Dip each flour-coated zucchini slices into the egg until fully coated and place in the pan.
7. When the edges start to brown, turn them over. Take them off the heat when they are cooked on both sides.
 

8. Dipping sauce: Mix the soy sauce and rice vinegar and serve with the jeon.
