How to Make Delicious Stir-Fried Zucchini Easily
Let’s make a truly delicious stir-fried zucchini using easy-to-find zucchini from the supermarket, leftover vegetables, and the fantastic combination with salted fermented shrimp (saeujeot). The savory saeujeot seasoning enhances the sweetness of the zucchini, making it a perfect side dish for rice. Enjoy the nutty flavor that gets better with every bite! Let’s get started now!
Main Ingredients- 1 zucchini
- 1/2 carrot
- 1/2 onion
- 10cm green onion
- 2 cloves garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables. Finely chop the green onion. Thinly julienne the carrot and mince the garlic. You can also slice the garlic thinly.
Step 2
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat it dry. Cut it in half lengthwise, then slice into approximately 0.5cm thick pieces. Slicing them to a moderate thickness is recommended, as they can become mushy if cut too thin.
Step 3
Prepare 2 tablespoons of salted fermented shrimp (saeujeot). Since saeujeot is quite salty on its own, it’s best to taste and adjust the seasoning as you cook, rather than adding too much at the beginning. Including the liquid from the saeujeot will enhance the umami flavor.
Step 4
Now it’s time to stir-fry. Heat a wide wok or frying pan over medium heat, then add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Add the julienned carrot, onion, sliced zucchini, chopped green onion, and minced garlic. Stir-fry over high heat quickly until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Step 5
Once the vegetables are somewhat cooked and have started to combine with the oil, add 1/2 tablespoon of beef bouillon powder and stir-fry together. The beef bouillon adds umami but can be omitted if you don’t have it. Add the 2 tablespoons of saeujeot now and stir-fry to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Step 6
Taste the seasoning during cooking! If it’s too bland, add a little more saeujeot to reach your desired taste. Using saeujeot for seasoning adds umami and a deep flavor. Once all ingredients are well-cooked and the seasoning is incorporated, turn off the heat.
Step 7
The sweet zucchini, crisp carrot, fragrant green onion, and garlic have come together to create a delicious stir-fried zucchini! Placing a generous spoonful over hot rice and mixing it is incredibly delicious. Enjoy this simple yet nutritious stir-fried zucchini!
