Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Chinese black bean sauce
2 Thai chile peppers, seeded and chopped
4 zucchinis, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon soy sauce
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir fry the onion and garlic in the hot oil until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in the black bean sauce and chile peppers, and continue stir frying about 30 seconds to coat the onions with the black bean sauce.
