Description
A simple and flavorful hibachi-style zucchini dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 medium onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Slice the zucchinis into sticks approximately half an inch square and 2-3 inches long. Cut the onion into quarters from root to end, then slice into half-inch pieces.
- Preheat a sauté pan or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the vegetable oil and heat until it shimmers, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Add the sliced onion to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.
- Add the zucchini sticks to the pan and continue cooking for 4-5 more minutes, stirring every minute. Allow them to brown slightly for added flavor.
- Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Sprinkle the zucchini with salt, black pepper, and sesame seeds. Sauté for about 1 minute more until the vegetables are tender-crisp and well-coated with the sauce.
- Serve hibachi zucchini with fried rice, your choice of protein, and yum yum sauce for an authentic Japanese steakhouse experience. Enjoy!
