Time 5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium-sized zucchinis
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
5 cloves garlic, chopped
2 green onions, sliced
2 heaping tbsp Saewoojeot, Korean salted & fermented shrimp (you can substitute to fish sauce or soy sauce)
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tbsp gochugaru, optional
2 tsp cooking oil
sesame seeds for garnish
sesame oil for garnish

Steps:

Cut zucchinis in half lengthwise and slice into a half-moon shape.
Place all ingredients in a wok or large skillet except sesame seeds and sesame oil.
Over high heat, stir fry ingredients for 5 minutes, or until zucchini is cooked but still has bite. It will have some liquid on the bottom, that's totally fine but don't overcook them, they will become too mushy.
Place on a serving plate, and garnish with sesame seeds and sesame oil. Enjoy with warm cooked rice and with other side dishes or make bibimbap by just simply putting the zucchini on top of the rice and adding a fried egg! Enjoy!

Steps:

Place oil in a large, heavy non-stick skillet and begin heating over medium high heat.
Meanwhile, slice onion and cut zucchini into 1/4" rounds.
Once oil is nice and hot, saute onion until it is starting to carmelize (about 2 minutes).
Add zucchini and seasonings. Turn heat down slightly (to medium), and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Zucchini should be yellow with some brown spots, slightly transparent looking and soft without being mushy. Onions should be thoroughly carmelized and yummy. :).
