Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis (sliced into half-moons)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Chopped green onions (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini
- Wash the zucchinis and slice them into half-moons, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2: Heat the Oil
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3: Sauté the Zucchini
- Once the oil is hot, add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 4: Add Garlic and Seasonings
- Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour the soy sauce over the zucchini and stir to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Serve
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve warm as a side dish.
