Chinese-style zucchini
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I tried making zucchini using this recipe and was pleased, as were my family members. The taste of homemade Chinese-style zucchini resembles marinated mushrooms, but the sesame and soy sauce add a special piquancy. Serve hot.

Step 1
1. We start preparing the zucchini by preparing the vegetables. I always use a young zucchini for this dish, wash it, and cut it into thin strips lengthwise. If you consider using a Korean grater for shredding it—I don't recommend it, it won't turn out the same at all. It's better to do it manually with a knife.

2. Fry the zucchini in vegetable oil, adding salt, pepper, garlic, and soy sauce. Keep the heat low and don't forget to stir constantly.

3. Stir gently so the strips don't lose their shape. Fry the zucchini until lightly golden, then add the peas at the end.

4. The finished dish can be sprinkled with sesame seeds (optional) and herbs. I always do this, as both sesame and herbs add a special, piquant flavor.

5. If you feel it needs more salt, you can season to taste, but soy sauce provides enough flavor, so I don't use any additional spices. You can enjoy Chinese-style zucchini at home either hot or cold.
