Hobak jeon

Method

1. 1 Cut the zucchini into 8 mm thick slices and toss with salt for 10 minutes.
2. 2 Pat each slice dry, then coat with a thin layer of flour and tap off any excess.
3. 3 Dip the pumpkin slices into the beaten eggs and pan-fry immediately over medium heat.
4. 4 Cook over medium heat for only 3 minutes on each side; high heat will burn the egg layer while the zucchini slices remain hard.
5. 5 The coating should be a thin layer of flour followed by egg, not breadcrumbs; that's the jeon style.
6. 6 Dip in a sauce made of soy sauce, vinegar, and chopped green onions.

With an appliance

• Air fryer 24 min

  Replace step 4: lightly spray oil onto the egg-coated zucchini slices, air fry at 185 degrees for 9 minutes, flipping at the 5th minute to brown the egg layer and soften the zucchini; steps 5 and 6 remain unchanged.
