Main Ingredients- 1/2 medium zucchini
- 1/2 small onion
Seasoning- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil (deulgireum)
- 100ml water
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce (jit-ganjang, or regular soy sauce)
- A pinch of sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil (deulgireum)
- 100ml water
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce (jit-ganjang, or regular soy sauce)
- A pinch of sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables that will form the base of your rice bowl. Wash the zucchini thoroughly, remove the seeds if desired, and slice it into bite-sized pieces, about 0.5cm thick, perhaps in a half-moon shape. Peel the onion and slice it thinly into strips or dice it to a similar size.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of nutty perilla oil. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, and sauté until fragrant. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic releases its aroma.
Step 3
Once the onions are softened and slightly cooked, add the sliced zucchini to the pan. Stir occasionally to prevent the zucchini from sticking to the pan and ensure even cooking.
Step 4
After stir-frying the zucchini for a moment, pour in 100ml of water and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Cover the pan and let it simmer over low heat until the zucchini is completely tender and has absorbed the flavors of the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a little more soy sauce if it’s not salty enough. Turn off the heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve. Spoon this delicious mixture over a bowl of warm rice and enjoy!
