Dragon Whiskers Recipe

Prepare the Zucchini

Wash and dry the zucchini. Cut off the ends, then slice each zucchini into long, thin strips resembling straws.

Set Up Breading Station

In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.

Bread the Zucchini Straws

Dip each zucchini strip first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Place on a tray and repeat until all zucchini are breaded.

Heat the Oil

In a large, deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Zucchini Straws

Carefully add the zucchini straws to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Drain and Serve

Remove the fried zucchini straws with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
