Main Ingredients
- 100g Ham (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1/2 Zucchini (sliced into half-moons)
- 1/4 Onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 Korean Green Chili Pepper (seeds removed and finely minced – adjust for spice preference)
- 1/3 stalk Green Onion (chopped)
- 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil (approx. 15ml)
- A pinch of Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
Seasoning
- 1/4 tsp Salt (approx. 1.25g)
- 1/3 Tbsp Minced Garlic (approx. 5g)
- 1/2 Tbsp Soy Sauce (approx. 7.5ml)
- 1/4 tsp Salt (approx. 1.25g)
- 1/3 Tbsp Minced Garlic (approx. 5g)
- 1/2 Tbsp Soy Sauce (approx. 7.5ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables. Finely mince the Korean green chili pepper after removing the seeds for a pleasant heat, and chop the green onion. Thinly slice the onion. Slice the zucchini into half-moons, about 0.5cm thick. Ensuring all vegetables are cut to similar sizes will help them cook evenly.
Step 2
Cut the ham into pieces similar in size to the zucchini. If they are too large, they might not blend well with the zucchini; if too small, they might get lost. Slicing them to about 1cm thick is recommended.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 tablespoon of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, add the prepared vegetables (onion, zucchini, green onion, and chili pepper), except for the ham. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt for initial seasoning. Stir-fry quickly for about 30 seconds to keep the vegetables crisp. Next, add the ham and stir-fry together. Drizzle in 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce. Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the ham is golden brown and the ingredients are well combined. Your delicious stir-fried ham and zucchini is ready!
Step 4
Transfer the finished stir-fried ham and zucchini to a serving plate. Sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds on top for an extra nutty aroma and flavor. Enjoy this delightful dish with a warm bowl of rice for a satisfying meal!
