Instructions

  1. Heat the pan over low heat  and add cooking oil, spreading it evenly. (If the heat is too high, it will burn the garlic and onion quickly in the next step.)
  2. Cook the garlic until it’s lightly golden (about 5 to 10 seconds), then add the onion and stir until it becomes translucent (about 30 seconds). 
  3. Add the zucchini and increase the heat to medium. Stir frequently and season evenly with salt. (If you don’t season evenly, some patches might turn out too salty.) Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the zucchini is fully tender.
  4. Drizzle in the sesame oil and sprinkle sesame seeds, giving it a quick stir. Remove from the heat. Serve with a bowl of rice and other Korean side dishes.

Notes

  • To store, let the cooked zucchini cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. You can enjoy the leftovers cold, with no need to reheat! But if you prefer to serve it warm, you can briefly reheat it in the microwave.
