5 Minutes Zucchini Salad
This salad features tender zucchini strips blanched briefly to soften their texture, combined with a savory sauce made from soy, oyster sauce, black vinegar, and sesame oil. Garlic is fried separately and poured hot over the salad, infusing an aromatic richness. Chopped green onions and optional red pepper slices add fresh, crisp accents, creating a balanced mix of tender and crunchy elements with Asian-inspired flavors.
