Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium fresh zucchini, sliced into 1/4 inch half-moons
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Zucchini: Wash and slice the zucchini into uniform 1/4 inch thick half-moon shapes to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
  2. Heat the Pan and Sesame Oil: Warm a large skillet or hibachi grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil (natural) and allow it to shimmer before adding any ingredients.
  3. Cook Garlic and Zucchini: Add minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté briefly until fragrant. Then add the zucchini slices and stir-fry for 4 to 6 minutes until the zucchini is tender but still crisp.
  4. Season the Zucchini: Drizzle the soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and sprinkle black pepper over the zucchini. Stir well to allow the zucchini to absorb the flavors and to caramelize slightly.
  5. Add Green Onions and Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle chopped green onions into the pan. Add the natural gelling agent mixture and simmer until the sauce thickens enough to coat the zucchini with a glossy finish.
  6. Serve Hot and Enjoy: Remove the pan from heat and transfer the zucchini immediately to serving dishes to retain crispness and freshness.

Notes

  • Choose firm, fresh zucchini for the best texture.
  • High heat cooking helps caramelize zucchini and boost flavor complexity.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming; allow space for even cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end by tasting for perfect salt and umami balance.
  • Use fresh green onions for an aromatic touch just before serving.
