Slice the zucchini into rounds about half a centimeter thick.
Sprinkle the zucchini with half of the salt, wait 8 minutes, then pat dry.
Mix the flour with the black pepper and beat the eggs with the remaining salt.
Coat the zucchini slices first in flour, then in egg.
Cook the zucchini in vegetable oil for 2 minutes on each side, until browned.
Mix the soy sauce and grape vinegar and serve with the hobak jeon.
💡 Tip: After salting the zucchini slices, dry them with paper towels; a wet surface makes the egg coating separate in the pan.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hobak jeon warm with a soy vinegar dip and spicy pickles if desired.
