One of my favorite foods at our chinese buffet is fried zucchini. It is coated with this very crispy crumb coating. What is it and how do you get it to stick?

if it's a crumb like coating - it could be panko. Which are Japanese bread crumbs.
Just dip meat, veg, fish in flour, then dip in egg, then dip in panko until well coated. Hope this is it.

the way restaurants go, it's got to be made the cheapest way.
cornstarch, salt, pepper, sugar optional and water or egg to dunk the zucchini.
this is how my mother makes it at home on a skillet.
my uncle owns a restaurant so it is fried faster in a deep fryer.

I believe its cornstarch and you probably need just the zucchini and the cornstarch . SImply dip it into the cornstarch and fry in oil. Get out with chopsticks or ladle, and they're good to go.

It is Tempura batter,you can get it at the market and many recipes on Cooks.com.The key to the puffiness is keeping the batter really cold before frying.When not in use put batter in frig between batches of use.Its good with shrimp too!Godd luck and yum yum enjoy.

I agree with 'lil one'!
When we make tonkatsu, we dip the pork in flour first, then in beaten egg, then in the bread-crumbs. (You should be able to buy ready prepared bread-crumbs in your local supermarket - they're ideal for the lazy world we live in..!) It has to be deep-fried, of course, but there's no problem getting it to stick!

Egg white cornstarch and self raising flour.
Mix with cold water and salt and pepper.

I'm guessing it's cornstarch - it probably sticks on its own (dry).
