Drain and rinse in cold water, then pat dry with paper towel.
Zucchini, Green Onion, Pepper, Garlic
Peel Zucchini, rinse, and slice into about 1/8 by 1/8 by 2 inch strips. Pat dry.
Trim top and bottom of green onions, wash in cold water, then cut into 2 inch sections.
Remove stem from chili pepper, cut in half from top to bottom, then sliver each half.
Thin slice garlic cloves from top to bottom.

Batter
Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl, then sift.
Wisk egg and water together, add to bowl of dry ingredients, and wisk together until smooth.

Dipping Sauce
Wisk soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and vinegar together in a small bowl.
Fine chop garlic and green onion, add to liquid, and mix well.

Cooking
Pour cooking oil (about 3 inches deep) into a large wok or deep pot. Heat over high heat to 375º (a drop of batter should immediately float when placed in hot oil)
Using metal kitchen tongs, dip some of the tossed vegetables into the batter.
Allow excess batter to drip off, then gently drop into hot oil.
Cook until lightly browned (three to five minutes).
Use a metal basket strainer with handle to remove from oil, transfer to paper towel and let drain.
Repeat until all vegetables are cooked. (Do not over crowd the wok/pot as this could cause oil to "boil over")
Serve as a snack or appetizer with dipping sauce.
