Aehobahk Buchim 애호박 부침 Zucchini Fritters

Finally the last banchan before I go on to the main dish for the birthday dinner. Another very simple and delicious side dish that won't cost an arm and a leg. This is equally perfect as a quick snack when you are feeling peckish. Try experiment with other vegetables such as green tomato, pumpkin and sweet potato.
