# Ingredients:
→ Vegetables
01 -
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
02 -
1 big onion
03 -
2 medium-sized zucchinis
→ Seasonings and Oils
04 -
1 tbsp butter
05 -
A pinch of salt and pepper
06 -
2 tbsp vegetable oil (try sesame or canola)
07 -
Optional: A sprinkle of sesame seeds to top
08 -
2 tbsp soy sauce
# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse the zucchinis well. Chop them into sticks about ½ inch wide and 2-3 inches long. Peel the onion, cut it in two, and slice thin half-circles.
02 -
Place a large pan or griddle on medium-high heat. Drizzle in the oil and let it heat up until it starts to shimmer.
03 -
Toss in the onion slices first. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes until they just start getting see-through. Then add the zucchini.
04 -
Sprinkle the chopped garlic on top and pour in the soy sauce. Stir everything around. Let it cook another 5-7 minutes, stirring here and there, until the veggies are soft but keep some crunch.
05 -
Just before the veggies are done, add the butter. Stir until it melts and coats everything, mixing beautifully with the soy sauce for a glossy finish.
06 -
Taste it and sprinkle on some salt and pepper as needed. If you want, toss in some sesame seeds for a nice touch.
07 -
Scoop the vegetables into a dish and serve them while they're hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Go for zucchinis that feel firm for a better texture.
02 -
Cooking on medium-high keeps the veggies crisp and gives a nice char.
03 -
Serve as soon as it's done to enjoy the best flavor.
