Ingredients- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 handful green onion (approx. 1/4 stalk)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 Tbsp salted shrimp (saeujeot)
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- A pinch of sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, check the freshness of the zucchini, green onion, and onion, then wash them thoroughly and prepare them. Washing vegetables well is the foundation of delicious cooking!
Step 2
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then slice it into thin pieces about 2-3mm thick. If they are too thick, they may take longer to cook. Slice the onion and green onion into similar lengths for even cooking during stir-frying.
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium heat, add a little oil, and start by stir-frying the sliced zucchini and onion. Continue stir-frying until the zucchini begins to turn translucent.
Step 4
Once the zucchini and onion are slightly translucent, stir-fry for about 1 minute more, then add 1 tablespoon of salted shrimp, the key to its umami flavor. The aroma will become wonderfully rich after adding the shrimp salt.
Step 5
When the zucchini is cooked to your desired tenderness, add 1 tablespoon of perilla oil for a nutty aroma and 1 tablespoon of chili powder for a mild spicy kick. It’s best to add perilla oil at the end to preserve its fragrance.
Step 6
Continue to stir-fry over medium heat for another minute until all the ingredients are well combined. Stir evenly, being careful not to burn the seasonings. A delicious aroma will start to fill the air!
Step 7
Transfer the finished zucchini stir-fry to a nice serving plate. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds for added nuttiness. Your visually appealing and deliciously nutritious side dish is now complete!
