Hobakjeon

Hobakjeon is a traditional dish originating from South Korea. The dish is usually made with a combination of thinly sliced zucchini, flour, eggs, oil, and salt. The zucchini slices are sprinkled with salt, dredged in flour, dipped in beaten eggs, and cooked in oil over low heat on both sides until lightly golden brown. Once done, hobakjeon zucchini fritters are often served with rice and soy-sauce-based dipping sauces on the side. Although the dish can be made any time of the year, it's especially popular in summer, on New Year's (Seollal), and on Korean Thanksgiving Day (Chuseok).
