Servings: 2
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: Korean

Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini (about 10 - 12 ounces)
  • 2 teaspoons saeujeot (salted shrimp) or salt to taste or fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic 
  • 1 scallion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (preferably crushed)
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise (cut into quarters if using a round zucchini). Then cut crosswise into about 1/4 to 1/3-inch thick slices.
  2. You can use saeujeot as is or finely chopped. This is very salty, so use 2 teaspoons first and add more if needed.
  3. Heat a pan with a tablespoon of cooking oil over medium high heat. Add the zucchini, garlic and saeujeot (or salt or fish sauce) to the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring well. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the pan while stir frying. You can add another spoon or two of water if the pan is dry.
  4. Add the scallion, sesame oil and sesame seeds. Continue to cook until the zucchini is softened and turns translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook. Taste and add more salted shrimp or salt if necessary.
