Equipment

  • large wok

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large zucchini green or yellow, unpeeled
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 tablespoon butter or more oil for a vegan version
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup sliced onions
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Chopped scallion greens for garnish
  • toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Rinse zucchini and pat dry. Trim ends and cut into 2-inch batons (about 8mm thick).
  • Heat oil and butter in a large wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add ginger and garlic; sauté for 4–5 seconds until fragrant.
  • Toss in zucchini and onions. Sauté for 1 minute.
  • Stir in soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook uncovered for 6–8 minutes, stirring often, until zucchini is slightly charred and moisture evaporates.
  • Don’t overcook—zucchini should stay firm with a gentle bite.
  • Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve hot!
