Delicious Seasonal Zucchini Roll-Ups

Brought to you by Katchan, who absolutely loves zucchini and eggplant, this recipe features 'Zucchini Roll-Ups' using plenty of fresh, seasonal zucchini. Despite the incredibly simple process of just mixing and pan-frying, the result is amazingly delicious. Inside, it's rolled with gooey melted cheese and savory ham, which pair beautifully with the zucchini. At only about $1.50 for two servings, it is highly budget-friendly, allowing you to make a satisfying, hearty dish without breaking the bank. It works wonderfully as both a quick appetizer and a main dinner course. The detailed ingredient measurements are listed in the video description, so feel free to use them as a guide and cook along. Now, let's get cooking!

Prepping and Salting the Zucchini

First, let's prep our main ingredient: one zucchini (approx. 150g). While you can julienne it with a knife, using a mandoline slicer is highly recommended as it makes the job incredibly quick and easy. Place the shredded zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of salt. Gently massage it by hand until it softens and releases its moisture. Once the water is fully drawn out, squeeze it firmly with your hands to drain the excess liquid, then transfer it to a separate bowl. Removing this excess moisture during the salting step is crucial to ensure the batter doesn't get soggy and cooks beautifully in the pan.

Making the Zucchini Batter

Crack 2 eggs into the bowl with the well-squeezed zucchini. Next, add 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp of consommé powder. From here, beat the eggs well and mix everything until uniform. The key is to mix thoroughly so that the egg wash and flour coat the zucchini evenly without leaving any flour lumps. Although we only use a small amount of flour (2 tbsp), it plays an important role as a binder along with the eggs to hold the zucchini together. Once everything is smoothly combined and free of lumps, your batter is ready to cook.

Steam-Frying in the Skillet

For this recipe, we'll be using a slightly larger 26cm skillet. Pour in a bit of oil, coat the pan evenly, and heat it thoroughly over medium heat. Once the skillet and oil are hot, pour in the zucchini batter all at once. Use a spatula to spread it out to an even thickness across the pan. After spreading it, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid and let it steam-fry gently for 2 to 3 minutes. Steam-frying with the lid on helps the egg on the surface set properly while cooking the zucchini through.

Adding Ham and Cheese and Rolling

After cooking for 2 to 3 minutes and the egg has set, remove the lid. Place 2 slices of ham side-by-side slightly off-center toward the far side of the skillet. Layer 2 slices of melting cheese on top of the ham. Next, fold the left and right edges of the omelet inward to shape it into a neat rectangle. Once shaped, carefully roll it up from the far side toward you, folding it over step-by-step (be careful not to burn yourself). Even in a round skillet, folding the sides first allows you to roll it beautifully without needing a square tamagoyaki pan. Once rolled, remove it from the skillet, slice into bite-sized pieces, and plate.

Cheers with Red Shiso Sour & Tasting

Now that the dish is ready, let's prepare today's reward drink: a Red Shiso Sour. Pour the red shiso sour mix into a glass with ice, top it with sparkling water, and cheers! 'Ah, shiso is so good!'—the refreshing flavor instantly hits the spot. Now, let's try the freshly made Zucchini Roll-Up. First, a bite just as it is, without any sauce. 'Wow, this zucchini is amazing! So delicious!' The juicy sweetness of the zucchini, the melted cheese, and the savory ham are a perfect match. Adding a little ketchup gives it a lovely Western-style flavor that will keep you coming back for more.

Key Cooking Tips for Success

Finally, let's review the key tips to make this dish even more delicious and easy. Shredding the zucchini helps it bind easily with the egg and flour, and salting it to squeeze out the moisture ensures it won't get soggy, resulting in a beautiful finish. Using a slicer makes shredding a breeze. Also, keeping the flour to just 2 tbsp gives the zucchini a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Steam-frying creates a lovely golden crust on the bottom while cooking it through. The residual heat melts the cheese perfectly, matching the ham beautifully. It's a perfect dish for both drinks and dinner that will make you love zucchini even more.
