Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons white pepper
- 1 stalk green onion
Instructions
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Finely chop the green onion and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and water. Stir until combined and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic. Stir-fry for 15-20 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the zucchini starts to soften but remains slightly crisp.
Pour the sauce mixture over the zucchini and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Sprinkle the white pepper over the zucchini and give one final stir. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onion.
Serve immediately as a side dish with steamed rice or your favorite protein.
